In baseball like poker you play the cards your dealt. Scoscia is a micro manager. In my opinion his style of over management hurts his team especially in the playoffs. His catchers are constantly looking over the dugout for signs from him. I doubt if he would have done any better regardless of which team he had, KC SF etc.
Agreed. It's not brain surgery. Having power threats like Pujols and Trout is not a negative for a manager.

The phillies will need to eat Howard's contract. They will get absolutely nothing for him. I have suggested Pap and Ruiz as possible salary dumps that make sense for the Sox.
No way should the Sox think about taking Howard in any deal to get Hamels. He would become the worlds most expensive bench ornimate.
