What are you even arguing, though? Gibbons has no control over the on field product. He plays with what he's given.
Positives for him:
- He is very even keeled, whether the team is winning or losing.
- Is pretty good at bullpen management
- Players seem to like him
- Makes good use of platoon opportunities
- Rarely employs the bunt
If you ever paid attention to Joe Torre during the Yankees dynasty, he made a lot of dumb decisions. If Gibbons had stumbled upon that job, he would be in the hall of fame.
I don't really care in terms of w/l whether or not Gibbons goes, but a) it buys the real problem another year, he's funny and I like him and c) he is not bad at his job.
