Message #2273 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   The Olde English Ds   Subject :   Leyland set to turn around Tigers' bad tale Date :   2/26/06, 6:21pm Leyland flits between fields at the Tigers' spring training complex with his usual nervous energy, yelling encouragement and instructions. He looks none the worse for the absence but knows his return has evoked skepticism. The Sporting News called it the worst managerial hire of the offseason. Wow, is this really the worst hire of the off-season? I would disagree.

Message #2274 of 6634  *NEW* To :   The Olde English Ds From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   Re: Leyland set to turn around Tigers' bad tale Date :   2/26/06, 6:20pm 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. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #2274 • Back to Topics 3120 reads
