You're also not offering a solution to your perceived problem, either.

I just wrote something similar in another post. Knowing where the outfielders are before a ball is hit-is learned in high school, or before! 'What are they teaching these players', is correct!

It was a feel good, fuzzy wuzzy, article that Hal wrote to gain some brownie points.

I watched the AA and AAA teams over the last week & what sticks out most is their IN-ability to execute the basics / fundamentals of the game.

The Dragons are a Cincinnati farm-team; that is their #1 priority.
