We have talent. And the MLB draft next month will further prove my point on that I'm sure.

The issue I see is development. Which goes back to what I was talking about with Foxhall's just throw them out there and let them figure it out approach. Fristoe and Tepper are great examples. Both throw in the mid 90's. Both have inconsistent mechanics. If we had a coach that could teach that better then they would be better which would in turn make the team better.

Another example from last year was Eric Cerentola. Same issues essentially.

Even though our players are very talented they still need to be coached. They're still developing. This isn't MLB where you have a guy that's at least 23 years old and has been in the minors or even older and is fully developed where it's basically troubleshooting for the coaches at that point and making sure reps are maintained.
Some guys just don’t develope,tell me how Eric Certentola is doing? Blaming Foxhall for Fristoe and Tepper, I ain’t buying. Blaming guys who swing and miss plus watch strike three ain’t coaching either. Baseball ain’t all about Coaching, athletes adjust with minor tweaking, not every pitcher can have same mechanics as well as batters.
I blame “most” of our problems on the players. I also think our Coaches haven’t done the best job coaching some up also. Recruiting has to improve and staying injure free is a must.
