He is terrible.
Baseball America is even mocking him (seriously):

Did not even make the A ball team for the Angels.

Man he fell super fast. That’s pretty sad
He looks like someone who made all the money he wanted and now has no motivation.
hartcoppy...incompetence married to arrogance and venality
where would the rebuild be without Albies and Acuna

Guys
We dodged a bullet because we won't be heartbroken over a long period of time when he inevitably disappears from baseball because he sucks.
Saves ourselves time. And time is the most precious commodity.
I think it's almost better for him to actually be good and have a productive career. It makes the previous FO look that much worse when they cheated over such a bust.

You can just look at Coppy or hear his voice and tell he's a huge nerd with no idea.
I absolutely love reading this Hart/Coppy bashing now that they are gone.
It would be hilarious to dig up all the posts where folks around here constantly defended them as a powerhouse FO brain trust who knew more than we did because "they get paid to do this" haha.
If work is slow this afternoon I think I'll do some work on the site's search function.

I never liked Hart. I like “some” things about. Coppy. He was not great at constructing a MLB roster, and he did poorly (minus Shelby trade) in big trades.
He was relentless it stockpiling talent (obviously too much so), and he could “buy low” with the best of them. Did well at adding picks also.
It was the perfect time in the rebuild to move on from him, so it was a blessing in disguise.

Clearly he is eating out of depression from not being a Brave.

Maitan may be fine in the end, a lot of teams aren't like the Braves in that they aggressively push 18 year old kids to full season ball no matter what...the book hasn't closed quite yet.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
