Does Our Management, Including FO and Francona, Hold Grudges/Get Closed Minded About A Player?

 Look, none of us know what is said in these meetings where they send players to the minors, either during spring training or during the year.    It is possible that the players say things that the manager and/or FO don't want to hear about how badly they are doing their jobs.  It is possible that those things are said once the player gets to the minors after being sent down and this gets back to the FO/Francona.  

None of us know.

But what we do know is that there are some pretty f****d up/head scratching player decisions that are being made recently.   Besides the fact that the best player acquisitions since the end of the 2020 season are David Fry and Enyel De Los Santos and there are PLENTY of bad player decisions including:

• Junior Caminero for Tobias Myers
• Signing Josh Bell
• Signing Mike Zunino
• Will Benson for Boyd/Haffer
• Nolan Jones for Juan Brito (who needed to be rostered after his A ball season)
• Owen Miller for cash
• Carlos Vargas for Ross Carver

So, today, we had a couple of more moves:

• Daniel Norris DFA and Tim Herrin promoted.  This is actually a good move as it brings back Herrin and causes us to DFA a replacement level player in Norris who has pitched a lot recently and so is probably not an option over the next couple of games.
• Placed Cam Gallagher on the concussion IL and brought up Zack Collins.  This seems like an odd move to me.  Collins is not a great catcher and, like Bo Naylor, bats left handed.   The obvious move would have to bring up homegrown Bryan Lavastida, who hits righthanded.  I guess you could say that Lavastida is 0 for his last 20 and that would hold water until you look and Collins is 2 for his last 20.  The move should have been to bring up Lavastida

We also, recently, did or did not do the following:

• Brought up Jose Tena who played all of one game at AAA
• Did not bring up Daniel Schneeman who had a whole season of great production at Columbus
• Did not bring up James Karinchak (fixed today)

The questions I have here are:

• Did Karinchak and Jones say or do something to make Francona and/or the FO mad at them?
• What is the player evaluation process that led to all of the decisions above?

I literally don't have the answer to the above questions but the answers, the real answers, might tell us a lot about why we are hemorrhaging ML players without getting enough back and having a bad ML season.
