I can't believe this city ran Phil Kessel out of town but treat JB like he's some hero.
I've met him in person a few times and I never got a good vibe from him. This guy has been a crybaby ever since we got him and he struts around like he's the ****. Definition of entitled. Sure he's a great hitter, but he's not a real leader. I'm not trying to insinuate that Phil was any sort of leader, but JB cries in the batters box, in the press conferences, on twitter, everywhere.
We should have traded him when his value was the highest. AA's biggest mistake was thinking he could build around him leading to the those horrible trades with the Marlins and Mets. It's not like he got this team anywhere anyways, but I am happy to see AA now realize he needs better leaders. Donaldson & Tulo are a HUGE upgrade over Jose and EE.
Couldn't agree more on your last point. I think this is the biggest upgrade a team could get. Leadership and do anything to win! Not sure we get this with EE or Bautista.
