    Relatively short extension, fitting for an average manager.
    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.

    That should makes so many of you experts so happy.
    Having Tito and Theo back would make me happier.

    But good for Farrell.

    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.
