well you certainly won't be hired by me.

hitting is below defense and speed? Ugh. Screw small ball, I'm looking for a manager that values pitching, yes, but above all values OBP, and SLG second. Absolute numbers are useless. K's don't matter, speed is a benefit, but not a necessity, and bunts are a waste of an out. In other words, J.P. Ricciardi.

Above all, someone who knows OBP is more important than speed at lead off, and someone who realizes your best player goes third, not 4th. I felt like killing Dusty Baker for having Bonds's protection as Santiago instead of Kent.
