Player development isn’t always linear

I flipped on the radio a while ago to hear the host gently scold Kris Bryant for not hitting enough homers. Before that, the in-vogue idea was to trade Willson Contreras, and ride Victor Caratini and Martin Maldonado down the stretch, which obviously would have been a bad thing. Bad talk radio is hideous radio. It's made even worse when my take is that the wrong villains are being sought out. If a problem exists, "cleaning up a few roster spots" is as backward as recommendations throughout the years. The problem, while fixable, seems more basic.
