I'm not sure how a sexy manager would be any different. Yeah, when you lose, things tend to change. I'm sure if they hired Robin Yount he'd also be fired when they consistently lose 85 games.
I like Craig Counsell. I wish he would have stayed. But I think his influence on their success has been laughably overstated. I think Craig is in for a rude awakening when he tries to replicate the success he'd had with their bullpen. I'm sure a drastic roster overhaul is coming for CHC though.
It makes sense me to keep the continuity going when you're consistently finishing top 1/4 of the league. They can't get over the hump because they can't hit. It's not the guy rubbing his face in the dugout.
