Managing would be SO easy if you could know what was going to be the result of each decision. Nobody figured, until it happened, that the bullpen would be so unsuccessful. Pierre had 1 error all last year. Of the players assembled in AZ, this is the best roster and these are the best relief pitchers to which we have access. Instead of abandoning them, as this board is (mostly) doing, Ozzie has to play them & get them through their troubles and back to their proven capabilities. Thornton can pitch and Pierre can catch. They will again. All athletes get the yips, get anxious, get cold, whatever.
