Pirates fire Tracy

You know one thing I can never figure out about teams like the Pirates, Royals, etc. Do they really think the manager is the problem? And that simply changing the manager every 2 years is going to turn things around?

 

I really wonder if there isn't something to be said in stability of a system. Even if you don't have the Yankee roster, at least your guys know what to expect when they come into a season, and your rookies and so on don't have to learn from an entirely new set of coaches every 2 years.

Yeah switching managers every couple of hears is just going to hurt these teams. Players finally get used to a system and then it's totally changed. Plus players could start to think that they're either going to be gone or the managers will be leaving soon, so why buy into a new program.

I really dont understand the Pirates, the talent is there, they are starting to build a nice staff in Snell, Gorzellany and Duke. Not to mention they have some nice hitters in Bay, Sanchez, Paulino and Mclouth.

 

Just a couple bats and improve on that bullpen a bit and they could very well contend in that weak division, really wasnt necessary to fire their manager.

New.Front.Office.

 

And Tracy kinda sucks as a manager as I've heard, though that's just what I recall reading on the site.
