I don't understaind the love affair with Farrell. I mean, he's a solid baseball guy, but I just think he needs to prove himself as a manager before he's given this kind of attention. Twitter seems to think it's Lind + Farrell for Avila.
That's a steal in my mind... just to get rid of Lind's contract.

The biggest loss will be if Butterfield leaves.

I don't get it either, but I do agree with you dumping that salary on Boston is a great move (if true).

Lind hasn't been the same player for a few years now.

Why would he? He's been there for as long as I can remember.

All of the coaching staff are on one-year deals, could go anywhere. Still, would be surprising to see Butter go.

I'm not seeing the logic that AA is trying to use here. He's made a crap load of moves over the past 2 years and the team just isn't any better, they're actually worse! If we could dump Lind and ship Farrell then they'll still just do something like buy an old Wiley veteran when they should go after some studs! We have none and that's what you need to win. Prospects are great but so many come along every year that you can't base your team soley on the hopes that in 5 years all these young guys will become Ryan brauns. You need to buy a Ryan Braun when the chance presents itself!

I dunno, but the article seems to think that is a legitimate possibility

Quote:
There are suggestions that first base coach Torey Lovullo, third base coach Brian Butterfield and extra coach Luis Rivera may now follow Farrell to Boston. Whether they do or not, the move throws the stability Anthopoulos sought into major flux, as it's reasonable to think the new manager will be given some input on the makeup of his staff.

So is it just Aviles? Or did Lind go too?
