I'd love to see him put in a sold year at AA then move up the the major league level coach 3rd base actually. He's a grown man. If he fucks up fire him. I like the Backman hiring!

What does this tell you about their ability to evaluate personnel.

We might as well get Milton Bradley in here as well. Bradley and Zambrano (another doozy) and a year's supply of Xanax for Castillo and Ollie. Or we keep Ollie and make it two year's supply of Xanax. Listening to the Mets yesterday was so disheartening. It is impossible not to conclude that Jeffie boy is just a spoiled kid in way over his head. Omar and Jerry have the expertise---give me a break.

His strange hiring and firing by the D-Backs a couple of years ago delayed his progress, as issues of alcohol abuse and domestic violence became debate for public fodder. Backman's managerial reputation is that he galvanizes the clubhouse and is an excellent in-game strategist. I think the organization could utilize his skills at the AA level, with a view toward promotion if his performance warrants advancement and a ML managerial posts materializes. Agree with your views on Towers and Ricciardi. To Towers, welcome aboard; to Ricciardi, no thanks. Wally Backman has a stellar resume managing in the minor leagues.
