Right now I’m going to say Dipoto simply because we had an outstanding season under him and made the playoffs (playoff failures aside) and had another +.500 season, whereas we have yet to reach .500 under Eppler.  If Eppler’s plan works out I have no doubts he’ll overtake Dipoto for me, but for now I have to give it to the guy with the results.

Have you paid attention to the Mariners at all?  Their farm system wasn’t good when Dipoto started, and the reason they aren’t good now is because Dipoto tore the team down in favor of rebuilding the farm.

Ah yes what will we ever do without our 3rd highest pick in the draft (92nd overall)?  Grandal is Grandal but pick 92 could be anything!  It could even be Grandal!

You know Eppler's done a godawful job when people are praising him for routine cuts.

Hilarious post.  He missed out on all of Grandal, Corbin, Ramos, Robertson, Harrison, Soria, Gonzalez, Moustakas, Happ, Eovaldi, and Britton, despite trying to sign all of them at some point and ended up with Bour (crap, AAA), Harvey (crap), Cahill (crap), Bourjos (crap), Allen (crap), and Lucroy (crap).  He has been around for now his 4th season, and has yet to put together a .500 ball club.  He has added 0 impact starting pitchers despite that being our biggest weakness ever since he took over.  He hired a complete moron of a manager who everyone ridiculed us for.  His biggest free agent (Cozart) has been an absolute disaster.  Eppler is a horrendous GM and I'm not sure how anyone can defend him after the disaster of a team he has put together this year, 4 years into his tenure.

Want to actually explain why you believe Eppler is doing a good job, instead of ridiculing those who aren’t drinking the Kool-Aid?

I don't see it simply because I just don't see the bullpen being able to play this well for so long.  With how volatile our starters are I think they'll be too worn out to go on a run down the stretch, as I doubt we will be buying at the deadline and the other contenders will.

I actually hope Eppler is a seller at the deadline. 

Won't happen, that would mean Eppler would have to admit that he made a mistake, which he won't do.
