It's safe to say April was somewhat of a disaster for the San Francisco Giants.

First-year manager Tony Vitello was already making headlines for interesting post-game quotes, and rumors about his potential firing spread like wildfire less than 10 games into the season.

There was no world in which Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey and ownership let Vitello go after just a month in the Majors.

But Posey's roster decisions in recent years have also been questionable. FanSided's Tim Boyle believes the predicament the Giants find themselves in with Rafael Devers will "haunt" the NL West organization.

"However, the Giants chose Devers to be one of the main pieces they’d build around. A converted third baseman now playing first base (and not well), it’s the lack of offense that’s most alarming."
