Farrell sucks, glad he's gone. Lind will probably have a big year in Boston. The Jays hitting coach has ruined every hitter outside of Bautista/Encarnacion since he insists on pulling everything and obp doesn't matter to him (I hope he's gone next). Aaron hill went to Arizona and did great...

Until last year. Not all his fault, ownership didn't seem to want to spend and that handcuffed him. Horrible hitting coach is his fault though. Missed out on Chapman when he was available. Did a great job stocking up the minors in 2 years but did nothing last year, wasted season. Big off-season coming up for him and the team. I still think he's one of the better gm's but he has to show something in the w/l column.
