Puig for all-star game on the strength of a couple months? Would you have also sent Brendan Bosch to the all-star game during his breakout half season? Probably not. There are many players that get hot for a month. They don't all get the press coverage of Puig. If he's for real, he'll be back next year...
True, players are paid to hit, catch, throw, run.
But Managers are paid millions of dollars to optimize wins based on all the tools available. If he doesn't do that, he should be fired.
"old time" managing went away years ago. I see current Managers making many mistakes.
