That doesn't mean I like 'em though.<br /><br />With regard to Wallach. For Tim's sake, I hope he gets the Tiger job. It would be a great job to get with all the talent and tradition over there. It will also give him an opportunity to immediately succeed, unlike a job in a place that is rebuilding.Evan Bladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882462203403645860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-80029040069066974212013-10-27T04:44:16.067-07:002013-10-27T04:44:16.067-07:00The call was indeed correct and not argued too str...The call was indeed correct and not argued too strenuously by John Farrell. Gutsy call but pointed out by both third base and home plate umps. <br /><br />Red Sox are among my three least favorite teams along with the Yankees and Giants. I have no other least favorites. I like the Cardinals for the structure of their team. <br /><br />They presently have 17 players they drafted. They have three more who were acquired and have never played for any other MLB team. Adam Wainwright from Atlanta as a 21 year old, David Freese from SD as a 23 year old, Carlos Martinez dropped by Cleveland and picked up as a 21 year old FA. Edward Mujica was acquired in trade as a 28 year old. They let Pujols walk and got better without him. They are equipped for the long haul with five of their own pitchers: Kelly(25), Lynn(26), Wacha (22), Wainwright (32), Miller (23). Four of those guys were first round picks, Kelly was third round. These guys are under control for some time but a good farm system replaces them when they become free agents.<br /><br />I wish the Dodgers could build like that.<br /><br />I hope Tim Wallach gets the Tigers job. He has waited long enough. I wanted him as Dodger manager when Torre retired. I would still prefer him to Don Mattingly. I defend Mattingly as I objected to his treatment during the 2013 season.huhlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05227102715926105541noreply@blogger.com
