Das Texan Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 How did Adrian Lorenzo get hired? Seems like he didnt meet the top criteria to be employed by the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Do they only promote people who have a front office or do they also consider those employees with an office more towards the middle or the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those listed have done their job fairly well, on paper. Hopefully it'll translate soon to the big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entendu Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I know it's cool and all to shit on your own team, but how can anyone criticize this front office beyond anything other than spending? They can't control the cash they have to play with, but on player development and scouting, they've been amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually too early to say on the player development and scouting if they are doing their jobs or not really.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant think of one player they signed or drafted that has made a significant impact to the major league roster. Heck, I can't think of one that is still coveted. Even Trevor Rodgers is a Loria pick. Didn't Bleday fall off the map recently prospect value wise? We got two Mesa's and they don't have a silla in the Major League Clubhouse.

Though I do agree the Ng regime has had one draft, so you really have to give it a good 3 years to determine if they got it right or not. Reality is that the guys drafted in year one of this regime should be just now reaching the upper minors generally speaking so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish a few could have kept their value or draft day potential. Most of what I see is they have lost value and go from Blue Chip Prospects to Simply Organic White Cheddar Doritos in a hurry.
