After almost one full season I have to side with Minasian over Eppler. Minasian plugged two holes via trade in Jose Iglesias and Raisel Iglesias at a success Eppler never did. Jose Iglesias seems to be fading as the year is going on but he's been what I feel an upgrade over Simmons. Eppler in his first two years got Yunel Escobar to play 3rd which was a disaster and Danny Espinosa to be our starting 2nd basemen-which still makes me want to throw up to this day. Also rest his soul, but his signing of Luis Valbuena kept Fletcher out of the lineup pretty much most of 2018 until they finally released him. I will give it that some of Eppler's prospects are starting to blossom like Austin Warren being a big one.. But Eppler was clueless at filling holes with MLB talent. Almost the whole bullpen last year was all DFA waiver wire pickups. And in left field his solutions were Cameron Maybin, Ben Revere, Craig Gentry and Daniel Nava... also remember his prized waiver pickup in Jefrey Marte we farted around with for years and couldn't play any positions defensively? I can keep going with all the positions but nah.. Not an Eppler fan and wasn't from day one. I have more confidence in Perry to turn things around than I did with Eppler.
