Right now the the entire franchise are many players talented . Theyre not playing up to the expectations. Maybe thats on dave hakstol for not getting the best out of them. For now, general manager ron hextall is sticking with hakstol. He has to, though, that was his big higher. You cant go back on that now and thats partly why the finger is beg pointed at hextall.
