Yes he did, although not sure how much that had to do with him.
Im just sick of, well there is an opening, what other retread can we bring back into the fold? Its the same in almost every sport. Look what happens when you bring in someone who isnt the same old name. Guillen, Maddon, Scioscia are just a few who have had success in their first managerial stint after not much consideration anywhere else.
Gardenhire and Wedge too.
I don't mind "retreads" being brought back though, I would just have to know that they are good baseball guys and know how to manage a game. Leyland, Piniella, McKeon a few years back...hell, even Francona and Torre sort of fit into that category. It's when a guy like Jimy Williams gets chance after chance when I start to get pissed (and thankfully, he hasn't had that chance in a while).
