Towers has been in the business for a long time and knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbethan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The Pads will rue the day they fired him. they're doing alright without him And it's because of him. He acquired 6 of their 8 starting position players, 4 of their 5 starters, and every single one of their relievers. Firing him was one of the dumbest things a team has done in a long time.

miamimarlinswin Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Great hire by AZ. It will be no time until the D'Backs are back to contending. I wish our GM/Baseball Operations Director had this intuition when it comes to pitchers. That is seemingly a weakness with Hill and Beinfest.

Schnellders Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Talking of Arizona, will they have Brandon Webb back finally next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhxPhin Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 depends how much they want to pay him ...... they picked up a pretty big option this year to have him not play ..... unless there is little interest or tremendous loyalty I think webb is in a different jersey next year now if he's throwing in that jersey, it's yet to be seen he's had a couple decent bullpen sessions (which is pretty common over the past 18 months - they are usually followed by a setback.......) and they say he will get another this weekend if that goes well he may be activated and throw out of the bullpen over the last couple of series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Great hire by AZ. It will be no time until the D'Backs are back to contending. I wish our GM/Baseball Operations Director had this intuition when it comes to pitchers. That is seemingly a weakness with Hill and Beinfest. I wouldn't say it's a "weakness." Just a case of noticing all the bad moves, without realizing the amount of good moves they've made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a case of noticing all the bad moves, without realizing the amount of good moves they've made. There's also a lot of variance. I'm not saying the Padres don't have good scouting, but there is a ton of variance with RP arms. And Tim Stauffer was the 4th overall pick in the draft in 2003. He's finally having his 1st decent season as a 28-year-old (1.4+ WHIP last year). So it's not like they hit every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of the Past Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Towers is a huge upgrade over Josh Byrnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
