I can defend the DBacks front office some but not enough to justify them keeping that front office intact. Make some sweeping changes!

I thought LaRussa would be good for the team, but his loyalty to Stewart and some of the moves are questionable. We all know the big things, but trading Zeigler early instead of waiting and for a very low, but with potential (and we have seen the roadblocks to these types of players) was bad. He likely could have got much more by waiting until the bidding for quality bullpen guys happened. The handling of Miller, a 25 year old with some very good success has also need to be questioned. Even suggesting a couple weeks ago that he was on the block was very questionable. With all the “baseball people” in the system they were ready to give up on him. Time for some changes including a new owner.

In LaRussa and Stewart you have two very old-school guys who probably agree on everything. It seems as though executives thrive when they are challenged by the people around them.

Stewart needs to go. He is over his head

I remember when he couldn’t tell the difference between a man and a woman….lol.you may have to be older to remember the incident

Stewart is a worse GM than Ruben Amaro jr. He has no understanding of the value of prospects

Does anyone have a park adjusted stat for Grienke? Obviously a pitchers era is going to go up pitching half their games in AZ. Curious if there’s a stat that adjusts for that for pitchers. Seen one for hitters.

ERA+ does that. Greinke has a 117 ERA+ which is 17% better than the average pitcher, adjusted for ballpark. Last year Greinke had a 222 ERA+ and has a 122 ERA+ for his career.

I have to work for this team. I can be a star executive. Compared to what they have of coarse.

Worst front office in the league right now.

Stewart is arguably the worst GM in the majors. He needs to go along with whoever is responsible for hiring him in the first place.
dstuart
Arguably? lol

It seems every player that is traded or released from D-Backs thrives elsewhere. Why?
MrAnderson1018
Seems crazy they’re ready to tear everything apart soon. Before the season they said they were on the 3-year plan. If it didn’t work this year they would still have the top players together for 2 more years.
All of the pitchers have underperformed,to put it lightly, and some of the best hitters have been hurt (pollock, peralta). The front office didn’t set this team up for failure this season. If someone needs to be fired, get rid of some coaches and get a new pitching coach.

Fire them all

Reed Eaton Bauer Didi the list goes on and on.

The Shelby Miller trade was insane. They could have gotten Mike Leake as a free agent.. He wanted to sign with the DBacks. He is better than Miller. The front office needs to be removed. The entire pitching staff needs reconstructed. They could have kept Ziegler and Clippard since they were the only relievers pitching decently. Once Pollock and Peralta return next year, the offense should be ok. They may even be able to get Enciarte back from Atlanta since he has not had a good season.

Larussa is ready to hire Eckersley as Stewart’s replacement.

If I were Kendrick, I’d dump all three including LaRussa, and if Hall signed off on the Greinke and Shelby Miller fleecing, I’d can him too. Their “go for broke” approach may have broken the club and it’s short term future.

I think they need to give them one more year with this group and if it doesn’t work clean the whole house and make trades next July.
