Remember when they brought on Buster Posey and he made a point of making sure that they pushed analytics to the back burner and he moved their office out of the clubhouse as a symbol?

But, but, but, they hired a franchise icon, fired their manager who never won anything for them, went out and signed guys- major league proven guys, traded youngs to feed the big league roster. That works, right?

hire a better hitting coach

Nope, he didn't make Doyle a finished major league pitcher but by all accounts Doyle got stronger and tougher under Vitello while dropping 20 pounds too.

You are absolutely correct. Doyle lost weight, threw a lot harder and got better under Vitello and Frank Anderson.
