Hodgepodge

J.C. at Sabernomics as come out with two recent columns speaking of the change in leadership and a possible friend returning. I appreciated the Schuerholz discussion, though. As someone currently putting together a Schuerholz look, I feel like I'm coming to the same conclusion. Good, but not great.

About Mazzone, I also feel that he didn't deserve to be the scapegoat in Baltimore, but his firing/letting go/whatever is certainly understandable. The O's have showed little full season improvement in pitching with Leo rocking in the dugout. Simply, a lot of talent makes a pitching coach look pretty good.

Oh, well, figured I would point these two things out.
