Yes, here is a subject that just won't go away.
Bruce Bochy is quoted this week in (of all places) the
prestigious, "Investors Business Daily" publication.
The subject is good business management, and the
former San Diego skipper is still indignant about the
way Vinny Castilla was dumped.
Bochy does not name any names, but I wonder if his
salvo is aimed mainly at Sandy Alderson (likely) or at
KT.

Bochy on Good Management

** Give others a voice. If they don't have a platform, how can they
offer value?
A case in point comes from Bruce Bochy, manager of the San
Francisco Giants and former skipper of the San Diego Padres.
He recalled how Padre executives released 3rd baseman Vinny
Castilla without warning or consultation, short-circuiting the team's
morale.
"If you respect the opinions of your coaching staff, those who know
what these players bring to the game beyond the statistics," said
Bochy, "wouldn't it make sense to have a roundtable discussion
about major moves like this? "
