This is aside from his off field stupidness, but imo he is a poor manager, he is way way to aggressive as far as stealing and hit and runs and i was very pist when he was for a time even considered to be in contention for the chisox job.

Ok, I get the background check, but what the hell does him filing for bankruptcy have anything to do with whether he is capable of mananging the Dbacks.

 

If you ask me thats freaking stupid.  Their are many perfectly logical and sensible reasons for filing for bankruptcy.  You could have a business and it goes under and a lot of times the best option is to file chapter 9.

you're right, it does depend what happened that made him file for bankruptcy, but a red flag should be raised when something like that is found out about, especially when combined with allegations of spousal abuse and a clear tempermant and the DUI.

 

I know if I was looking for someone to manage or a team, or run anything with my business, how the person is on all levels is important. he clearly has problems.

I am waiting for Rex to come clear the man's name.

Somewhere Rex Hudler is very sad.

allegations of spousal abuse

I hope he's getting help for whatever the issues are, but I did not read it at all that spousal abuse was one of the problems.

 

The way the article read was, there was an altercation with a friend of his wife.

 

Fine line maybe, but there's a difference.

Gone already?

So the courts were even further behind than the DBacks were

Dikta had a drunk driving arrest and broke his hand punching a locker. Just thought I'd toss that out.

 

I possibly could care less about Wally (what the hell kind of a name is Wally for a Manager?) but I don't think so.
