We lead the league in strikeouts every year, and we've continued to have youngsters have success under him, from Zambrano and Prior, to Wells and Marshall. He handles the staff well, and he isn't the problem. He did wonders turning Lilly from a good pitcher to an absolute stud, and for every guy that he's lost (Marmol) there's more guys he's had perform really well and created success for (Dempster, Guzman, etc.).
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
