I wish it weren't true, but I think we're stuck with another year of Francoma. He came here when Curt came here, and I don't think they want to rock that boat in Curt's last year.
After next year though, the guy just needs to go. He's Charlie Brown. Lucy (Timlin, Millar, Krapler) has lined up the ball for him to kick it a million times. And, a million times, she's pulled it away at the last second leaving him ass over elbows, yet he gets none the wiser. The only way to protect this guy from himself is to ship away the crappy players he keeps using because they did something for him 2 years/months ago. A good manager recognizes effectiveness and goes with the hot hand, or away from the cold one. I haven't seen that from Tito. Thanks for 2004. Best of luck. But, good riddance.
