Well everyone became a huge fan of Stearns when he turned us around so fast, which in his defense he had some nice moves to do so (Shaw and now Chacin). However he has left A LOT to be desired two July trading seasons in a row. He has traded/dumped many players (Segura, Davis, Gennett, and Villar(short sample)) who have all done better elsewhere making our returns look less than stellar. That is pretty brutal for only being here a short time. Maybe the difference is the people Theo puts under him vs. Stearns. They have drafted well with their top picks, have a good coach, and develop fairly well. You gotta get good people under you to be a great GM. The GM needs to get a good farm director and ways to find great players. The GM just makes the philosophy and final decision making. Regardless it is way too early to know how good or bad Stearns is. We won’t know that for years. He has done a lot of good and not so good.
