Sorry, I voted Wak. Love the guy but, he's too unemotional and trying to be 'one of the guys' with these spoiled players. Time to kick a little butt, Wak. Can you imagine Lou P. allowing Bradley to have that little tantrum? Or, Lopez not hustling to FB? Or, Felix not putting in his all?
The front office did a great job putting the pieces on the field. It comes down to day by day management.

This problem lies with management. Griffey was certainly Armstrongs idea because they would not pay for Abreu. Bringing him back was only option as thet would not pay for anything else. Management has let the fan base down. Shame!!

Chuck Armstrong deserves his one line. Lincoln has been openly supportive as any ownership representative should. Armstrong stuck with Bavasi for too long and now has his fingerprints all over the Griffey problem.

Two roster spots dedicated to hugging in a non-contact sport...12 pitchers on the roster and three are not good (White/RRS/Colome)...bad luck (Figgins/League) and "Not-ready-for-prime-time-players" (Tui and Johnson)...unbelievably I miss Milton Bradley...sigh.

There was a missing option - Bill Bavasi. He gutted the team and it will take us a lot longer than two seasons to recuperate.
