I've been a Williams basher, but I think he generally did what needed to be done this year. The only move I didn't like was his move to add Strop in the bullpen. I thought he needed somebody more impactful as a stopper out there. Probably a lefty to push Garrett more into the middle relief area. Adding Strop was fine in and of itself, but that move needed to be a secondary move like adding Jones is viewed. He needed a bigger move to impact the pen IMO and Strop coming off a 5ish ERA was all we got.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

A lot of it is player development, or lack thereof, especially from the pitching aspect.

If he’s in charge of the drafts, then yes he should be fired immediately. This team is just rudderless.
The single number 1 reason why we are where we are is because our best player, Suarez, has a significant offseason injury and has been a complete black hole through 7 games as he gets back up to speed. He’s been right in the middle of all the failed opportunities in close situations.
It’s not the fault of anybody, but another sign of the danger of analyzing 7 games. A few Suarez hits in the situations he’s had would have won at least a game.

I mean, it’s a bullpen with the sane core as last year, with a few semi interesting new faces (sims, strop, Jones).
It was league average last year.
It’s always missed the big hammer at the end.
I don’t expect it to be a strength.
But it’s not going to handicap is like this all year.

I could stomach getting off to a bad start if we were doing it against good teams, but this team is rolling over to the historically awful Detroit Tigers 4 times in a row. That’s the worst part of this.
