Re: POLL: Which one change should Jerry Reinsdorf make this
off-season?

KW brings up de Aza as a way of saying to the team (and Rios)
"produce or else" and Ozzie promptly sits Rios ONE game. I'm
sick of all of them. If I only get one choice, it's fire KW and
pray the new GM fires Ozzie and Walker.

Ozzie's act has worn thin. The bad line-ups, the talk about
"playing baseball the right way" (while he continues to throw
lolligaggers like Rios out there), the nonsense with the tweets.
Ozzie's teams start slow and they tank it in the end. I think
he was a good manager for awhile, but whatever he had is gone.
There are certainly strikes against Kenny, too, but I am ok with
some mistakes causes by being an agressive GM. He needs to get
his head out of Mr. Rectum over drafting, and paying the price
for talent, and actually thinking that you might bring
talent--and not only trade fodder--through your minor-league
system. And his passive-aggressive crap when dealing with Ozzie
is a big strike, but a fresh manager may help with a lot of
this.

New theory on the Dunn / Rios situations:
Ozzie likes "NL-style ball."
He must've meant that he's been longing for an automatic out in
the lineup.

Who is to say that a new GM couldnt unload Rios or Dunn?

Why drag up the uniform colors? That hasnt got anything to do
with the production on the field.

If both players start off slow next year, maybe the new manager
will know how to use them properly, either by not batting them
in critical spots in the order or not playing them at all.

Maybe a hitting coach will be able to pull heads out of rectal
orifices.

The odds against that are a million to one. We have to be
sending that to the miracle department. Besides, Dunn's problem
seems to be his bat speed or not seeing the ball well. He seems
to not make contract right when he does connect.

The uniform colors are fine. Cowley was just making a point.
No "foxhole mentality." Exactly.
I think you have to write off this year for Dunn and give him a
chance to start fresh next year. If he continues to stink it
up, then do something with him.
As for Rios, package him in a trade with another player
(Beckham? Pierre?) demote him to AAA, eat his salary...
anything, just keep him off the field.
I wouldn't mind seeing almost a whole new lineup out there for
2012 and go through a rebuilding year or two. Just remove the
stench that comprises this current team.
