What’s the scoop on gibbons, and how does he compare with wedge?
ysjjaysfan
No clue about Wedge but as a Jays fan I can say Gibbons was HORRIBLE. I’ll never forget how happy I was when I heard he had been dumped and replaced by Cito.

Why John Gibbons? He was a jerk in Toronto. Why create an uncomfortable enviroment for your players?
I personally want Dale Sveum, or Ken Macha, because I want to improve our avg. with Runners in Scoring Position. Plus, we need someone who IS familiar with the NL central b/c lately, the Pirates have been batting practice fodder for the rest of the NL central, minus the Cubs (9-3 against them this year).

I agree that Gibbons would be the wrong choice for the Pirates. However, I would rather see the Pirates bring in Tony Pena than Sveum & Macha.

Gibbons wasn’t a jerk, nor was he horrible. His bullpen management was excellent and Mike Wilner, the Jays radio guy, said that Gibbons was the 2nd best manager the Jays have ever had. I agree with him.

Whatever happened to Ted Simmons being a serious candidate for a bunch of positions? It seems like he jumped the gun by leaving the Pads….it doesn’t look like he’s a finalist for anything as of yet.
