re: Examining the three in-season moves Paul Mainieri made — and the one he didn’t

I agree with much of what Ell said. Some of the moves were made out of necessity, and the Coomes for Slaughter move was late in taking place.

I'll add that the most important of all of his moves was "Moving Hess to the Bullpen". I doubted that move when it was made but it 100% improved the back end of the bullpen and I agree with the article in that LSU doesn't win the SEC without Hess pitching late innning pressure situations for LSU. That was a season changing move made by Paul.
