If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
And these extensions mean nothing. How many times have you seen a manager extended and then replaced within the next year?
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

Not all that often, unless the manager does something to pretty thoroughly earn it.

Played golf today with a guy from Toronto who is so disgusted that he wanted to trade Happ for farrell with one little catch. We had to take gibbons. Things could be worse I guess.
