He completely mismanaged and ruined some of their young arms back when they had a plethora of talented throwers. Guys whose career trajectory changed based on his misuse/overuse. That was the single biggest reason I was against his hire. Was worried what he might do to all of our young talented arms (Singer/Lynch/Kowar/Bubic/etc.) as they came up.
So far my concerns have been unwarranted. I thought he managed Bubic, Singer and the bullpen really well last year in the short season and so far he’s done fine with Singer and the bullpen this year (St. Louis Matheny would have sent Singer back out for the 8th today, which would have been a mistake).
I’m glad he is proving me wrong and hope he will continue to do so . . . . . .
