Davey Johnson back in Baltimore?
BRING HIM BACK, NOW!
I know the history of bringing back coaches/managers to the same organization after great runs is not good. Just look at Earl Weaver and Joe Gibbs. My response to that?
BRING HIM BACK, NOW!
As I've stated here many times, the real problem with the Orioles is not the manager, or the co-GM's, or the players. The real problem with the Orioles is Peter G. Angelos. That said,
BRING HIM BACK, NOW!
Davey Johnson won't solve the O's bullpen woes, their erratic starting pitching, and their DH/1B, no-power threat lineup. My thoughts?
BRING HIM BACK, NOW!
All of that said, Davey Johnson will bring one thing that has been missing since his ugly departure nearly 10 years ago: HOPE!
Davey Johnson is one of the best managers of the last 25 years. In New York, Cincinnati, and Baltimore he took proud franchises back to their winning ways. Very simply, he is a WINNER.
Davey Johnson is one of the best handlers of bullpens I've ever seen. The O's have a lot of talent in the 'pen.
Other than Boston, the AL East is down. Give Johnson 100 games with this ragtag bunch and allow his input in the offseason and the O's could be winners next year. They have a nice core: Roberts, Bedard, Tejada, Markakis, Ray. They have some other terrific young pitching talent: Cabrera, Loewen, Guthrie. These guys need a proven winner to command their respect.
Before last season, the Tigers had had 12 consective losing seasons. They had a nice mix of veterans and young pitching. They hired a proven winner as a manager, even though he had not managed in 6 years. The result? A World Series berth.
Peter Angelos, BRING HIM BACK, NOW!
