A minor league manager is more likely to be subjected to interference from the Front Office on who to play. Maybe he was told to play the other guys to figure out if any of them had an potential at all.MicheleSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-21867971810801999972011-12-02T09:27:47.273-05:002011-12-02T09:27:47.273-05:00Why does LeCroy deserve a promotion, he hurt the P...Why does LeCroy deserve a promotion, he hurt the Potomac team last year especially in the second half when he obviously played favorites with certain team members, while neglecting others who had a higher ceiling. This is not good news for those prospects moving from Potomac to Harrisburg, who thought they would be getting away from a bad manager!

I was disappointed when he left. <br /><br />I love that the Nats are executing a "coach and follow" model throughout the system. Good for the players, good for the coaches. <br /><br />I know there are anti eckstieneople out there who blame the Nats hitting woes on the. Coach but I think they are confused about who is lacking focus. That Eck could not help Stairs, Werth, Espinosa, LaRoche, Desmond, etc make contact says more about the playersa than it does about the approach. Players with a history of better contact would likely yield better results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-3510774503110007302011-12-01T23:13:04.247-05:002011-12-01T23:13:04.247-05:00Not a big thing, but am I the only one squicked ou...Not a big thing, but am I the only one squicked out by calling grown men "babies"?Soul Possession, PFB Sofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891662837668214475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-65105477290550102782011-12-01T21:51:36.331-05:002011-12-01T21:51:36.331-05:00Michelle I remember the same thing.
