The Bring up Taylor Green Thread


I truly believe Doug Melvin's biggest issue sometimes is trying to prove everyone that he was right in the long run, rather than accepting maybe he was wrong and moving in a different direction.

 

Why do you have this belief, rather than believing that Melvin is basically just too conservative, and hesitant to sit down a player when he believes that player has shown in the past that they could get the job done?

 

Melvin let Hardy OPS .667 until August 11th, and let the Brewers fall 6.5 games back before he finally demoted him. How is that an example of Melvin trying to prove to everyone that he was right?

 

I don't want to rehash the entire 2009 Hardy incident, but I do think it provides evidence contrary to your belief.

Isn't this providing evidence to possibly support my theory? Whether he wants to be right or is too conservative, I think we can both agree that it seems to be an issue and the same issue (holding on to hopes for too long).

Yes, we can both agree that Melvin is too conservative. Melvin has admitted that he can be too conservative.

 

But I think it's helpful to understand Melvin's frame of mind. Melvin will eventually sit Casey and bring up either Green or Gamel if Casey continues this level of play. While some believe that Melvin can't admit his mistakes, there is plenty of history to show that he will eventually improve a position if he has the resources to do so, and it makes sense.

 

It may happen too late this time, and if it does, there is a decent chance that it will cost Melvin his job.
