I’m not saying Ross was great, but I don’t see any evidence that Counsell is better in any way. Everyone thought he was a genius because he managed low-payroll teams in Milwaukee that played well. And rather than assuming Milwaukee is simply a well run organization that scouts and develops players really well, Hoyer assumed that Counsell unlocked some secret magic and turned a mediocre roster into an overachieving roster.
