I will admit, I defended the Brouwer signing at the time. I thought it was a little risky, but I didn't expect him to drop off so hard and fast. At the price the Panthers are paying, it's a low-risk signing though. Worst case scenario is that they bury him in the minors and eat the cost.
And who knows, Gulutzan was terrible. Maybe Brouwer can redeem himself and become somewhat effective again. I know Brouwer got an unearned amount of PP time, but the PP in general was terrible and I don't think that was all on Brouwer. And even though I thought GG and Cameron were ineffective coaches, We didn't have many other option either. I can't help but feel like Brouwer was set up to fail. He was put in over his head.
