“You’ve got 13 position players, normally, for one guy,” Farrell said.
Of course, Farrell's normal solution to that is to reduce it to ten or eleven position players for one coach.

i'm just wondering, but shouldn't the first and third base coaches have some responsibilities w/r/t coaching hitting? or maybe the bench coach? or even the bullpen catcher?
oh, and since this is a thread that is nominally about canadia, during tonight's episode of monday night raw (live from montreal), jerry lawler collapsed and had to carried backstage (while apparently being unconscious) following a tag match he had against cm punk and dolph ziggler.
considering the stroke that 60+ year old rickie steamboat had following a match in the not too distant past, and the in-ring death of mitsuharo mizawa (admittedly, in japan), maybe it would be a good idea if the WWE would reconsider having currently active wrestlers beating up geriatric retirees.
that should probably apply to hulk hogan as well.
and would anyone at all be surprised if ric flair died in a ring on live TV?
I greatly look forward to the Jays trading Farrell to Boston in the offseason.
So, what does it cost to obtain another team's manager, a divisional rival even?

Randy Winn or Manny Sanguillen. Well, probably younger versions in this case. I don't think you could even get Manny Acta for Sanguillen at this point.
I can't argue with Dwayne Murphy approach. It hasn't worked for all of the players on their roster (Lind, Lawrie come to mind) but it certainly has for Encarnacion, Bautista and Davis.
I don't really care what the Jays do with Farrell. I can't see him not going to Boston, whether its this off season or after his contract expires after next. The Jays aren't going to win anything next year, so they might as well get something in trade.

Chad Mottola - now there's a name I haven't heard in 15 years.
...with the 10th and 11th guys being so utterly hopeless offensively that there would be no point in the hitting coach even spending time with them.
Does anyone have slightly different definitions for these two words?
I seem to recall that in Baseball Stars ratings one indicated contact and one indicated power. I don't recall which was which.
What about Tommy Mottola?
About 10 years ago I ran about ten seasons in Baseball Mogul, and Mottola was one of my cheap pickups.
Despite hitting over 400 home runs in the heart of the order for a 5-championship dynasty, the bastards didn't elect him to the BBM Hall of Fame...
that's just a thought.

How bout Pawtucket's version of Chris Carpenter?
He was good enough to trade for Theo.
