He would benefit greatly from a good hitting coach. Before his SB #'s return to respectable levels, his walks need to go way up and his strikeouts down. I agree w/ Mikey Adam ... his eyes are too close together.

I'd be happy if just ONE person in this organization just grew a set and claimed some responsibility and said something passionately that would lead us to believe the team can play with a little more intensity next year. It's not going to happen with just a free agent signing, a cut, a hiring or a firing ... it has to exude as an attitude from SOMEONE on or part of the team. I guess that means LEADERSHIP

It's baffling why whoever is leaking this francona stuff wouldn't use real, legitimate baseball reasons to slam him ... like that he ran too loose a ship, or that he was over loyal to players who were slumping, or other tangible reasons for his firing. Not personal issues that are minor. He's got marriage troubles? What MLB manager has a perfect marriage? The continued empty criticism of Tito and the sure to come attack on Theo will only make Schill's words prophetic. FA's will be hesitant to join a team with so many daggers they are so eager to sink into someone's back.

Theo is absolutely a better than average GM. Easily in the top 3rd in the majors by virtue of the only thing that really counts at the end of the day ... championship rings. It is hard to know to what extent decisions on huge $$ free agents was at the urging of ownership ... and the value of this FA acquisitions is his only legitimate criticism. Having said that, Theo, tito, players and ownership all must share blame for the early and late season underperformance that cost the franchise this shakeup ... I think equally. The fact of the matter is that ownership will be the only party that will (probably) remain unaffected by the disappointing season.
