I have to disagree with you Afterhours....when they talked of hiring Burleson the first time I felt that that would be perpetuating the problem of continually hiring, no-name, no-experience, no-balls managers! They need a Tony Larussa or Lou Pinella or someone of that caliber!
Joe Morgan, John MacNamara, Grady Little, Butch Hobson, Terry Francona.....come off it!!!!
Can you see the pattern there????
These guys were all unproven as major league managers....and they came here to cut their teeth......problem is none of them had any fangs!!!!
Jack McKeon anyone? Thats what I am talking about....experience and guts....who cares what the players like or want! They are getting paid big money, make them earn it or get the hell out of town! Manny with another day off last night.....come on man....who is running this asylum???? Sure ain't management!
