The correct answer was "Jim Leyland". The Tigers were also fond of this idea, and the result has been more than positive.

 

The Tigers have more talent on their roster.

I think he deserves 95% of the blame and Baker 5%.

 

What would Baker have had to do to get a higher percentage? I'm just not sure what more a manager can do to deserve being fired.

 

I agree that Baker should be fired. I think everyone should be fired from top to bottom. Manager, coaches, trainers, everybody. It's so pathetic to see how far this team has fallen in 3 years.

Ok....now I'm really really confused. What the heck are we arguing about then?

Hill should be pitching instead of Rusch.

 

While I would agree that Baker has his boys, which is one of the reasons why Guzman and Williamson get buried and do not pitch as often as they would like, but Rusch pitching has more to do with money and his contract than anything else. What does fall on Baker is that he ultimately has the final say how much a player plays, and for all of us, Rusch seems to get too much of it.

I believe the relative level of anger that should be directed toward each responsible party.

Well then I'm done arguing, because frankly who cares...they both suck.

When a guy on the Cardinals (See: Ponson, Sidney) is bad, or ticks of TLR, he's out of there. It was even said when Ponson and TLR got into thier little spat in the dugout during the big Cardinals blowout game, that Ponson wasn't long for STL.

 

When a guy on the Cubs is awful, we hold on to him and give him chance after chance instead of the potential a rookie could bring to the team.

 

That is something both Baker and Hendry share blame for.
