I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that Lou was talking about since Stone retired as a player.

And if you wanna compare careers, Piniella has done much much more as a player and beyond. Yes Stone won a Cy Young, but the rest of his career was mediocre at best.

I'm just saying.

Piniella's comments portray Stone as just one more beat writer that never had cleats to hang up. Stone's opinions on how the game should be played, right or wrong, aren't theoretical.

I didn't see it that way at all. I think Lou was saying that if Stone is so fucking smart, why aren't teams beating down his door to hire him. It may be a valid question.
