The big problem with Lou is that he's had 2 really big, really stupid mistakes that he's been repeating for weeks. It's like a B student in math class who can't multiply by 2 and 5. Which mistakes are you referring to specifically? So many people have varying opinions on what he's doing wrong, so I'm honestly not sure which ones you're referring to. Really, though, on general philosophy, I'd probably give Lou a B+ to A-. Thus, the C range is taking into account mistakes he's made. Marmol usage and Pie benchiness That's what I'm saying. I don't think he's overusing Marmol too much (yet), but I don't like when he's using him. I also don't think he's committing unspeakable crimes against Pie (though signing Edmonds is pretty close), but I think he should get more at-bats. So yes, both of those mistakes factor into me lowering his overall grade. If you take out the stupid uses of Marmol. he's down to something like a 90 inning pace. High, but not absurd. With Pie, it's pure stupidity through and through. Johnson isn't just not hitting righties now, he's not hitting anything at all. There's no way Pie would be worse than Johnson has been in the last month
