I know you abhor Walt, but Bud hasn't squeezed anything out of this talent beyond what Walt did with less.  Black was soaring early on but has landed back on earth with a giant thud.  It just goes to show that a manager's influence is less than advertised.  Talent and team chemistry are well over 90% of the equation.  The majority of the rest is execution, a skill that the Rox have failed to consistently hone under either manager.
