Comments on: Jays coaching staff will soon look different http://jaysfan.com/2009/10/31/jays-coaching-staff-will-soon-look-different/ The happenings of the Toronto Blue Jays. Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:11:54 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Tom Chire http://jaysfan.com/2009/10/31/jays-coaching-staff-will-soon-look-different/#comment-105 Tom Chire Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:59:53 +0000 http://jaysfan.com/?p=433#comment-105 The recent suspension of Mike Wilner was a typically Canadian move - anybody who tells the real truth gets "muzzled." Mike Wilner is a good baseball commentator. Unfortunately the object of his criticism, Cito Gaston, is not. Mike never criticizes Gaston without giving rational and reasoned examples. He does this without ever being rude or abusive. We all admit that Cito is a good man, a truly nice person, a great hitting coach and loyal to a fault to his players. Unfortunately when it gets to a point where, as a manager, his lack of imagination, lack of creativity and plain poor judgment shock even the average fan like myself, the team has a problem. Muzzling Mike Wilner and pretending a managerial problem doesn't exist isn't going to help. I would dare to suggest that if the Blue Jays were managed by an even average calibre major league manager, they might win 5 to 10 more games. PS: Kudo however to the Blue Jays on scouting and development of some fine young players in the organization. This gives me hope.
