Schneider isn’t a great coach but half of the batting order is made up of major league caliber hitters. Atkins has handed him a ####ty lineup.
Santander was never going to be the guy who would revolutionize this lineup. The overwhelming response when he was signed was “happy to have him but we need at least one more big bat to really move the needle.”
Time and time again Atkins has half assed it with this team. Whenever they needed two or three things to be competitive, they’d overpay for one thing once it was too late. As a result, we have a bloated payroll without a clear competitive window.
