2 Full Curls Report post Posted April 16, 2014 I knew what this thread was about before I even opened it. I'm a huge Dbacks fan, and have been since the beginning. I went to the 2001 game 7 and love the team. I was very upset that Towers and Gibson were not fired after the end of last season. If I were the owner, I'd be cleaning house. I don't care if it's April. Towers became enamored with an over achieving 2011 squad and tried to get over the hump by signing experienced veterans. He has decimated our minor league talent (primarily our young pitching) and has set us back several years. Gibson and his staff need to go too. I know he likes to hunt, but that doesn't make him a good manager. They do a poor job of developing young pitchers (case in point: giving up on Tyler Skaggs and now the kid is throwing 92-96 with the Angels). The Trumbo trade was as dumb as it gets.... I'll stop for now. I could list my grievances all night..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertBull Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Look at the players they have traded away. Max Scherzer, Carlos Gonzalez, Jared Parker, Chris Johnson, Upton etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6ANut Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Bull pen is horrid and starting pitching isn't any better. It's almost like watching most College baseball games played on Sunday. Usually the worst pitchers were used and the score was always in the 10-7, 15-8 etc. Some of my favorite dbacks ever signed Richie sexton, Troy glaus, Russ Ortiz, the list goes on and on.

MRL1984 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 How did Melvin not have to go? He was less than stellar. Any coach in the league today is disposable. Any player is tradable. No one traded from the Dbacks has gone on to amaze. Scherzer was probably closest, with his career year last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted April 16, 2014 I have never liked KT. He has traded away all of the young talent in the system. He should have been fired last yr. The Trumbo move was a dumb move as well. You can get all the offense you want but if you have 0 pitching you still wont win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Trumbo move was a dumb move as well. You can get all the offense you want but if you have 0 pitching you still wont win. Exactly. You make that trade ONLY if 30 hr. & .230 avg, 6-hole hitter is the missing piece that makes you contend for a world series. The fact that Towers and Gibson thought that was the case is enough proof to fire both. I was Justin Upton's biggest critic and still am. He takes plays off and had a bad attitude. But how do you not trade Upton for a young starting pitcher. He was our biggest trade chip. Towers missed out on the big Seattle deal when Upton vetoed it, and because he played his cards wrong (IMO), he was left with Atlanta. Martin Prado is a good guy and talent, but was not needed. Towers got smoked. Next year's rotation should have been 1) Corbin 2) Upton trade pitcher 3) Bradley 4) Skaggs 5) Miley 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl_s Report post Posted April 17, 2014 Just to put into perspective how bad they are right now think about this one for a minute. If the Cubs lost their next 4 games they would have the same record that the Dbacks have right now! For the record, the Cubs are in last place in their division.
