MurcieOne Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Seattle isn't sure if Lou is gonna be there next year, big mistake if thats the case. I'd say maybe we could lure him, but thats even a little to idealistic even for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it out of your mind,Murcielago.You know we're stuck with "Jerry The Tinkerer" and the most clueless GM and ownership in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 JR wouldn't even think of hiring a guy like Piniella. For one, he doesn't come cheap, for two he'd flatten KW if he even THOUGHT about trying to tell him how to manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Thats the type of manager this team would need. Someone that would just tell Ken Williams off. I think if JR went out and got a guy like that, that is well respected it would change his entire image and he'd actually get some respect.

RedPinStripes Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 No chance. too bad. If they wont even try to go after him thinking Manuel is the guy for the Job, they have no intention of winning anything more then a division.:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 The story is that they let him talk to the Mets and D-Rays. And they'll seek compensation in return, meaning players. Right now, Frank for Lou, make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I wouldn't. The heck with that. What I want to know is why would he possibly go to the Drays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I'm just saying I wouldn't trade Frank for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPinStripes Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 If i had a choice between the 2, i'd take the better manager for now. We have replacements for frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 The thing is, I'd just as well have someone like Macha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I think Pinella is good but Thomas is a hall of fame ball player. Ya, managers are important but I like players first and putting a quality team together. Heck, why not just land Dusty Baker then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Originally posted by RedPinStripesIf i had a choice between the 2, i'd take the better manager for now. We have replacements for frank. Right! Like putting Borchard in LF and moving Carlos to replace Frank as the DH. Carlos is a lethal hiter, no doubt he is. And he isn't even to his prime yet.

Lee has beena lot more patient at the plate. The DH should be used to rest people while being able to keep them in the lineup. A DH dont have to to be big strong and slow. Oakland had a good idea with Durham. If Lee can bring his average up about 30 points, i'd like to have him as a dh. Just as long as he dont get stupid on the bases like he always does.

Chisoxfn Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Like I said Heather, Caballo has earned a shot at another full season where he will be graded. He made huge improvement this year and may just finally be on the verge of stardome, and to me I can wait and watch him one more year cause I Think he's going to be alright. If he does bust out, then we can easily dump Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
