We have the benefit of a lot of advanced data today in baseball that wasn’t available a decade or two ago. Because of that, hindsight isn’t always kind to baseball players, and skippers of the past.
When it comes to Cito Gaston, the former skipper of the Blue Jays (1989-1997, 2008-2010), his resume speaks for itself and it makes it very difficult to challenge what he did back during the team’s glory days in the 90’s. That said, there were a few decisions worth raising a eyebrow over, even if they obviously worked out just fine.
