Sadly it seems she chalks that up to just luck......I dont expect a busy offseason if she just thinks the luck will turn around with all the same players back.

She had a full year of evaluation as was requested...and invested the limited funds into more of the same shit. She has no clue on how to evaluate a roster and isn't even aware of the actual stats players have. It's disgusting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This got me thinking, Bruce has never actually blamed the fans for this, this blaming the fans thing is the work of the writers. Wouldn't shock me if Bruce laughed at the idea of blaming the fans for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Denbo was fired months ago, why does her clock reset in the off-season?

J'Daniel Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 looking at Correa's and Reynolds stats (since that's who most of us wanted them to sign and trade for last offseason) they were "shockingly" EXACTLY what this team would have needed in the heart of the lineup. If only someone had called Kim and told her about these guys before they spent the same money on Garcia and Soler instead. It's almost like a message board can diagnose the teams needs better than a "well-qualified GM". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Denbo left because Kim was in control and he and her didn't work well together. But if she wasn't in control then he would still be here. Point is, I see that as more proof that she's been in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is on Bruce Sherman for not allowing it to even be discussed. Now the Reynolds one, thats a different issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey we signed this guy to prove to people the Marlins were going to spend money after the lockout. She is going to sing his praises because thats what you are supposed to do in that position. If you were the GM you would have been saying the same thing, whether you believe it deep down or not. Its part of what you are paid to do. And we signed a guy like Avisail Garcia on the cheap because he would take the salary we have available for a player. I mean come on. The Marlins were never going to sign a guy like Carlos Correa because Bruce Sherman would not have allowed that to happen. You can be critical on her for a number of things. But the not signing a premier free agent is not one of them when her hands were literally tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that she praised the new signings, it that the stuff the praised them for is flat our incorrect and makes it seem like she has 0 clue what she is talking about/doing.

You get it. You can praise the signings with some generic crap but don't literally make up complete falsehoods about their stats. It was ridiculous and showed she doesn't even know her own players at all. I expected better from Das than just saying "what else was she supposed to do". Any no, this does not mean I think Sherman isn't cheap - it's just that Ng is a fucking idiot or is incredibly lazy (or God help us, both).
