WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers
Today, another chance for readers to have increased opportunities to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful conversations and a variety of opinions are welcomed.
Let?s create some running conversation threads with not just comments but replies to others. And for those of you still going into offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom calls ? as you talk to your co-workers.
Here is today?s hot topic. For this blog only, a maximum of 10 sentences please.
The Tigers continue to significantly overhaul their Player Development department under new VP Ryan Garko. For years, the previous system showed little accomplishment while being criticized for not developing players to succeed at the MLB level.
Garko has broomed much of the department and went outside the organization to hire the best talent away from other organizations. The majority of those new employees have some connection to the Dodgers.
But it doesn?t necessarily mean that all of these people actually worked together when employed by LA. Quite a few of them came from different levels and locations within the entire Dodgers empire. Some of them worked for the organization at different times or briefly overlapped.
But the Dodgers are widely accepted as possessing MLB?s best player development system.
So how do you feel about so many Dodger hires? Is it OK because it?s a wide variety of employees with common employment ? and not an entire group of the same people simply transplanted?
Does the reputation of their work in LA vanquish any concerns?
Or should the Tigers have branched out and hired more individuals from other organizations?
What do you think?
How do you feel about all the Dodger hires?
1. Good. It's about quality over quantity.
2. Wish the department had hired from more teams.
