If I hadn't lived through the Mackowiak in CF disaster in 2006 and the Erstad in CF debacle in 2007, I'd be more than happy to believe that was the case. So far though, actions speak louder than words. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.
This is a different team with different circumstances. After 07 BA spoke of his attitude adjustment, Ozzie does have to manage a team whom he sees every day, it's possible more than our video-game minds should be brought into consideration. I'm not saying he's always right, but the overreaction, hyperbole on this board is astoundingly ridiculous. BA should have someone to platoon with, and we DO need a contingency plan if Getz has trouble. Pods is hardly a great contingency plan, but he's sure as s*** better than Owens.
Edmonds. may. not. have. been. able. to be gotten.
