However, one major issue can be addressed quickly: Joe Espada’s lackluster management.
He’s only been a manager in the Major Leagues for a month, but it’s clear he’s not the right man for the position. Replacing Dusty Baker was never going to be simple, but Espada appears to be overwhelmed by the task and has been completely ineffective (see the Jose Abreu scenario).
To make matters worse, he already appears to have lost the clubhouse, according to a tragic account from beat journalist Brian McTaggart prior to Tuesday’s game.
Fulshear, Texas — Joe Espada began writing in high school and hasn’t stopped since, chronicling four decades of his hopes, disappointments, and doubts.

Espada has traversed a career filled with almosts rather than absolutes, writing a case study in perseverance before achieving his apex.
