I completely agree that Jeffrey Loria left a mess, and a rebuild is in order. But the new ownership group has not been transparent and they've done a very poor job communicating with their players, internal staff and their fans. Giancarlo Stanton took some heat for his harsh words as he left Miami, but I place the blame solely on Jeter. As the "face" of the new organization, it is not Michael Hill's job or others to mend faces...it is Jeter's responsibility. His title as Chief Executive Officer means that every action of the organization is his responsibility. I know that Bruce Sherman is the true "owner" but he's obviously chosen to entrust the visible leadership to Jeter. Jeter should be working hard to unite the organization and its fans to share in the future vision for the Marlins instead of working to alienate everyone. I know that Jeter's your hero, but to me, he's just a guy that is in over his head...until he is able to prove otherwise.Scott Fiedlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598662581036778337noreply@blogger.com
