What is the reason teams like the As & Rockies & Angels are constantly mediocre. Is it lack of accountability, talent, poor talent evaluation, spending?

Going outside the organization, dipoto really does need to get it right this time

There are a lot of good people out there, and most of what we’ve done in recent years, especially, has been insular,” Dipoto said. “And this year’s failure requires that we look outside to find someone who might be able to poke holes in what we’re doing and help us see something that perhaps we’re blind to.”

Baseball, at its core, is about development and talent evaluation. You need a pipeline of good, young players that are cheap in tandem with really good veterans.

All 3 teams struggle to develop draft picks and are horrible at adding veteran talent. With the Angels and Rockies, they haven't been able to draft or develop any sort of pitching worth a lick in years. They also had really bad signings in guys like Anthony Rendon, Justin Upton, Trout's injuries, Kris Bryant, etc. The A's have also really struggled to develop pitching... combine that with not spending any money... it's been ugly.

I think the A's have a decent culture but just don't have the talent to compete. I think the Rockies culture is taking a turn in the right direction with a youth movement. I think the Angels have struggled a bit with culture but that's turning around.
