re: Jay Johnson does not appear to be a championship level coach

I would say no one is going to out recruit him and that’s half the battle. He has been there before so I would say you are full of it. I also think though he makes some bad decisions with the line up sometimes and in game. His philosophy the last two years has been homers and doubles and he sacrifices defense over offense. For example Jobert plays a better third base than White. White should be playing first base or DH. His teams here have not been good defensively. they can’t bunt, he doesn’t steal that often, and his pitching decisions are questionable half of the time. If we are hitting that covers a lot of that up. The biggest problems he has right now other than a weak bullpen because of injuries and not enough people stepping up is clutch situational hitting and several of his players strike out too much.
