Word in Houston - Biggio!

There is a long list of possible replacements for manager. But the exciting thing is that Craig Biggio is on it. Wow. It's sad seeing Bo go but
if Biggio is in it, they can shove a stick of dynamite up Bo's butt and I'll light the fuse.

At this point in time....it can't get much worse.

I like Biggio enough. We'll see. I didn't hear great things from opponents when he was coaching St. Thomas. Though that could be plain jealousy.

Oh, yes it can. Remember last year? We have already had more wins than we did all of last season.

Porter being out is about the relationship with the GM. Did Porter get the most out of that squad
Pretty close.

Bringing in Biggio makes it impossible to fire the manager...so the GM will be next to go if this is the direction they head.

sports illustrated recently did a cover story on the 2017 world series champions: the houston astros! their new creed is sabermetrics.

they've gone all in on the data analysis, etc. maybe bo porter didn't agree with that methodology. I'm picturing a billy beane/art howe dynamic in Moneyball...

It would be a mistake making Biggio the manager.

Why put him in such a lose-lose scenario?

They'll end his managerial career before it even really starts.

Rumor has it Bobby Valentine is getting a look.

That would make much more sense to me. Have Valentine manage the team for a while, try to get them better, then give it to Biggio when the team is in a better position to contend.

Don't just throw Biggio to the wolves. Because this team is crap and it's going to take some time to turn them around. And no rookie manager should be given that task.

Yeah, they shouldn't do with Biggio what Philly has done to Sandberg.
