Yes you are perhaps describing a player development issue moreso than a talent acquisition/scouting issue. And you could say the same thing about Beane’s free agent signings - many of them have been slow to acclimate on the field. Player development and scouting/pro personnel are related but not the same. Perhaps they’re doing some self-scouting in that regard by firing Ciano or perhaps that is totally unrelated - but on-field player development has lagged behind much of the rest of the McBeane sectors.
