Re: Leyland set to turn around Tigers' bad tale

    I agree with you, OE..  Leyland is one of the most underrated managers I've ever seen.  True, he won a ring in Florida with a powerful lineup, but during his days in Pittsburgh, his teams were always overachievers.  The Bucs had a few good players, such as the Pre-Juiced up Bonds, Andy Van Slyke, and Doug Drabek, but the rest of the team was medicre at best.  The Pirates of the late '80's and early '90's were kind of like the White Sox of '05.  They came out of nowhere and proved their critics wrong every year.
