None. And I’m ok w the hire. But Ginn isn’t coming here or not coming here because of Lemonis. I think he deep down wants to play here and that’s been the case no matter the coach the dodgers, however, are going to sign him.Quote:

He definitely seems like a real players coach. He definitely knows his stuff. I think he will do a really good job. And I couldn't be more excited to play for him."
JT has to say that. If you are negotiating, you have to appear you're willing to go to schoolQuote:

Who? Please don't say Anderson and HatcherQuote:

Wash, rinse, repeat.

It's pretty normal that some players will transfer when a new coach comes in, or they want more playing time. etc.
You guys are the ones continuing this. I’m just responding to your retorts giving all the credit of this past run to Henderson. He was only a small piece and I will give him credit on righting the ship and being a calming influence. But Gautreau and those kids deserve more credit for this run then Henderson does imo. And we will see it next year where we will make it back and win this thing with Lemonis as our coach. Just watch. That’s all I’ll say on Henderson.Quote:

I think Rowdy will move to second with Anderson starting in left. I also think Skelton won’t be the first choice at catcher either. I think our lineup will be much more dynamic under Lemonis with obvious strength gains next year in our team.Quote:

Let's just say it was a joint effort of our athletic department ( Athletic Director, Head Coach, Assistant Coaches, Players) and Fans that helped accomplish what we did in baseball this year.

It was a team effort.
Coaches and players!

Uou didn?t refute anything. If he signs it wound be Lemonis fault and if he doesn?t it won?t be because of him. If he doesn?t sign he might not of signed either way. You don?t know. You are just running your pie hole.Quote:

But you said it didn’t matter what he thought of Lemonis and that article refuted exactly what you said. It doesn’t matter because Lemonis is an elite recruiter and while he might not be able to talk a first round guy out of signing with a big league team he will be able to get the kids we have lost in the 11th-15th rounds we have missed out on routinely.Quote:

Crap man, Commerce has been on here for months saying JT wanted to play here. Thats way before Lemonis. He wants to be a bulldog with or without Lemonis. I'm Glad he likes him. It doens't hurt but isn't going to determine the end result. Why is that so hard for you to understand. smh.......Quote:

Who i might ask, at the end of the season would have you sat for anderson? or hatcher for that matter, who had more than enough opportunity to show his worth. Do you honestly think, asking again, that henderson didn't ask gotro for his opinion on the lineup??? and if the answer is yes then i give up. Cause you are wrong. again.Quote:

He has a ton of upside. Perhaps had we given more at bats to Anderson and Hatcher we could have gone to them in PH situations when Rowdy and Allen were both batting .086 in the CWS yet we kept them in the 2 and 3 hole. We really didn’t do anything in the hit and run game and also really didn’t steal that many bases. We also for some odd reason had players coach the first base side. To me all of these things ultimately fall on the head coach or should. Gautreau definitely did wonders with our approach and hitting and I’m sure he had a ton of input on the offense but the buck stops with the HC and I think Henderson did dictate who started and was involved in the batting order as well.Quote:
