Heard Larry Krueger on KNBR this morning offer something pretty compelling: the Giants in 2017 were chock-full of minor leaguers and has-beens who saw significant PT (and he rattled off about 15 players who fit one of the categories, including Arroyo, Calixte, Ryder Jones, Jarrett Parker, Mac Williamson, Pablo Sandoval, etc.). His point being that "reassigning" coaches is like moving the Titanic's deck chairs - they weren't the problem, the non-MLB roster was the problem.
I think the pitching was just okay, but the hitting was worse (just gut feel). No pop. No ability to hit with men in scoring position. And that was my main take on Buster, too - no power, and he got an awful lot of singles with 2 outs and nobody on. . .
