So far, this appears to be an excellent hire. Props to the Rockies. Sure, the young pitching coming up and doing so well has really helped but Black clearly deserves some credit for that.
As I said when SD fired him and WSH almost hired him, look at those Padres teams in his last few years, they always overachieved. In 2010, he pulled off a miracle to keep them in the race. The following years, they probably were 5-7 wins better than the 'on paper' analysis suggested.
