This Team is maddening.

[Captain Cold Nose]

start addressing the needs of this team at the conclusion of 2012. FIRE LEYLAND. COACHES. do not hire from within.

go outside the culture.

They're not going to fire Leyland. That is the fact to be faced. He'll be allowed to leave on his terms simply because he is a Detroit guy (by way of suburban Toledo and years of minor league coaching for the organization), not to mention being at the helm when the team was no longer a 100-loss contender year after year after year. Unlike Phil Garner and other post-Sparky managers, he actually likes it here.

I wouldn't mind a change, especially among the coaches. But Leyland goes when he wants to.
