Grading Craig Counsell

I thought it would change the dynamic of the NL Central when he switched teams.

I was wrong.

For me it's just about results.  Last year we won 83 games.  This year at least 88.  This is what he did with Milwaukee (he went 73, 86, 96 in first 3 years).  As long as we win more games next year, it will still be a trajectory of improvement.  There are things that annoy me about him but he's here to guide the team to win games and the early returns are he's doing it.
