    It'll just make 2017 sweeter when we don't exercise his option and find a good manager for our playoff runs, right?

    I may be way off in my interpretation of what Hart said, but my impression is Fredi is not going to be brought back as manager.
    Ahem.

    But I'm happy for Fredi. He's worked hard for this. Has the team playing an attractive aggressive style and has gotten them to overachieve. Perfect manager for taking this franchise to the next level. You have to be patient. First comes palatable. Then competitive. Then contending. Then winning. Then championship. Rome wasn't built in a day.

    What is the point in dropping him when we aren't expected to contend in 2016 / until 2017? If we didn't extend, we'd have to search for another manager to take over for a season of losing, with people then calling for that manager's head as well prior to the 2017 season in our new ballpark. It would just be the same cycle repeating. Wait until after 2016 to bring in a new manager to win in the new stadium when we are expected to (and hopefully will) contend.

    This doesn't surprise me a bit. I've said all along that there's no way they would ask Fredi to manage during a rebuild without promising him a chance to mangl...manage The Mighty ****s, 2017.

    Here's something to think about. This front office has a lot of experience, knowledge and expertise. You need to have more faith in them. They have been nothing but brilliant so far. You need to suspend all judgment and have 100 percent blind faith in them. Otherwise you aren't really a fan.

    I'm disappointed, but who cares? We're not going to be any good next year either.
