Why are we still waiting to hire Espada. I cannot believe we are seriously considering some old never-been who is a Bagwell buddy.

I don't think they want to hire him, or at least no one above Dana Brown seems to want to hire him. Seems like if he was the guy, they could make that happen now, especially now that Counsell is off the board.

And given the amount of influence Bagwell seems to have, Ausmus being considered and hired would be the least surprising thing this offseason.

I totally agree with you that things seem to be on a downward trend from an ownership/front office management standpoint. I don't really give 2 shits about Espada either way. I guess he'd be fine, but there's no way to know until he actually runs things. So I'm OK with someone else.

But we've seen Ausmus as a manager in action - twice - and we've seen Bagwell's front office performance. And both are not good.
