I read that Phil Garner is on the list to rehire at Houston. I like Garner, but I hope we don't go in that direction.......unless there's a thought to bring him in & tutor Ausmus for a year or two. ( I haven't heard that. Just trying to figure out why McLane would consider going back in that direction)

I hope not....I wish they'd go get someone who will bring some drive and determination to the club from the get-go...then maybe they'd start fast and end faster......

The Astros admitted Garner wasn't the answer when they let him go the last time, after leading them to the World Series. Why is it any different now?

Well I dont know if this may just be the best short term option right now with the economy. Just speculating. It would be an improvement.

I'll agree with that. Some of Cooper's decisions were absolutely incredible.
