Okay folks, I think I've made a huge rookie mistake. Like many players, the first thing I do when taking GM control is to sign quality coaches for the various levels of the organization .... 3-5y deals and then forget about it until renewal time. I try not to hoard all of the best coaches, and I won't poach them from other teams.

This is my pitching coach, obviously not ML quality.

1. I'm hoping that replacing him, along with the defensive/strategy upgrades, turns this starting rotation around.

2. If the new pitching coach does turn things around, I'll be both (a) pleased and (2) a little annoyed that a coach, at the ML level, could make such a change.
