Preller should have fired Black in the offseason

I'm surprised to see just how indecisive A.J. Preller has been. He should have fired Black in the offseason and chosen the guy that he wanted managing his new deeply flawed team from the beginning. He had plenty of time to evaluate Black and study his in-game decisions during the second half of last season and the entire Winter and Spring. What took him so long to figure out that Black wasn't the right fit? Before Preller was even hired President Mike Dee tasked the GM who would follow Josh Byrnes with evaluating Black's place in the organization.
