I've read where DiSarcina would like to go into coaching.....what I would like to know, is there a DL for coachs and if so what is the standing record for times on the DL without actually doing any coaching?

Say what you will about DiSar, and many here have, but he was the glue that held that '95 team together. When he went down, it was over. No, that can't be measured by statistics, so if anyone was paying attention to this thread, I'm sure I'd be shouted down, but he gave them good production out the nine spot, was under-rated defensively, and was the vocal leader of that team.

As for the whole Edmonds thing, that has been debated here before. I still have a hard time believing that he was the only one in the clubhouse that felt that way. If he was, there was sure no mad rush to the microphone by the rest of those guys to bad mouth the trade or DiSarcina. And he's certainly not the one that was negotiating with the Cards, so to lay everything about that trade on him is pretty unfair in my opinion. I think its a bit silly to hold a grudge against DiSarcina for a trade that management made. Its not as if we're talking about Wayne Gretzky running the Kings from the clubhouse (I mean, really, Charlie freakin Huddy?).

DiSarcina was popular with the press which is probably why his opinions about Edmonds were so widely known.

But I've got to think that Shredder is in hog heaven after the last two Angels win over the M's.

Well, I am a little excited right now, Bob.
