Again, he went from worst minor league system in baseball to the best in just a few years. It's really amazing what he's done. How is anything other than an A,I have no idea.
1. Giving White a MLB deal. Widely panned at the time.
2. The bad relationship with Seager. Two sides to every story and maybe Seager is a little bitch but just a bad look that doesn't help with luring FAs.
3. Painting himself into a box before the off season ever started with all of the unnecessary proclamations about what he wasn't going to do.
4. Claiming that BP starts were the ONLY possible option in June and July/not trading from Anderson earlier and being too conservative at the deadline. Sticking with Bauers WAY too long.
Definitely an A for the current state of the farm system but that is just one component of the rebuild.
