Hillman SIgns

Trey Hillman has signed with the Royals. I think this is bad news. He seemed perfect for me. He wasn't a big name and could be fired, he had tremendous success in Japan, and seemed like a new school guy. So now my first two choices are gone. I think my favorite would be Bobby Valentine now but I doubt it'll be him. It sickens me to say this but I think after Valentine I`d like Mattingly.

The End of An Era

I came home today from school at 6:00 to read blog headlines saying Joe Torre was back. As I read down I saw edits saying he rejected the deal. To be honest I`m shocked. I guess he wanted the two year deal or maybe he wanted to stay at home more. He`s done a great job the past few years and he`ll be missed but its not a complete disaster. I`m unsure about who I`d like to see manage next year. I`d be surprised to see Torre manage another team but its possible. I suppose its still possible Torre will change his mind or get a better offer but I`d be shocked. Thanks Joe, you`ve done a great job. We`ll miss you.
