[QUOTE="IntenselyOrange, post: 1127793, member: 4888"] Managers can certainly hurt a team by poor bullpen management, bunting too much, batting their best hitter 7th, etc. But you are right that no manager is going to get this group of guys to win with any regularity. As for Beckham and Longoria, poor Bob has a crush on him:). But really, there was some truth in his post. Unfortunately, the post should have been used to bring to light how diminished a player Longoria appears to be rather than how good of a player Beckham is. The fact is we need players. Unfortunately, the FA crop will be thin again and we lack the necessary assets to acquire minor leaguers who can contribute to an MLB club next season. Maybe in 2017:(. [/QUOTE]
