I’d be in favor of hiring a more experienced coach, maybe not Molitor but I’d consider either Cuddyer or Nelson Cruz as good options. It’s unclear that the youth movement on the coaching staff has proved ideal, and a mix might be better.
I hope you’re all voicing your dissatisfaction to MLB directly; you’re probably not going to influence much here. Tell them what you want. It’s your best chance for getting it. Which is admittedly pretty slim, but still non-zero.
The Padres don’t seem to have a whole lot to show for their spending. Nor do the Mets and the Angels. Don’t think dollars are by themselves the silver bullet here.
