I mean, he either had to have signed off on the offseason moves or else he was asleep at the wheel. No other options available on THAT multiple choice question! <br /><br />I actually think Stewart/LaRussa had the right idea that the fastest way to get competitive was to upgrade the pitching. They just went about it all wrong. Now I don't think Shark was ever going to Phoenix, but it seems like they definitely could have had Cueto. They also could have modestly overpaid for Mike Leake. The combo of Cueto and Leake while keeping Swanson in the organization would be smelling like a rose right now instead of the durian fruit they're stuck with.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-24756142998156262572016-07-09T23:09:56.372-07:002016-07-09T23:09:56.372-07:00The Giants do a great job of putting people in sit...The Giants do a great job of putting people in situations where they can succeed, and have been doing it for many years now.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-85459037517976897792016-07-09T08:52:36.514-07:002016-07-09T08:52:36.514-07:00The Diamondbacks are a tire fire.

And Belt and Crawford are best in baseball with the glove, who cares about all-stars or dWAR scores. <br /><br />But back to the D-backs. How bad are their all-in moves looking now? As Dansby Swanson gets ready... Just horrible moves by LaRussa and Stewart.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-56222576410766664242016-07-09T08:40:01.753-07:002016-07-09T08:40:01.753-07:00And Duffy.

Is it maturity or better coaching or BABIP luck?<br />BTW, Susac has put together an excellent 10 game stretch.
