I don't think Gibby did much either way. He knew and followed the numbers - he expected the players to do the playing. They didn't do enough under him. I never railed against the guy because he wasn't holding anyone back they were just playing poopy.

I think that Denbo's strategies weren't working for a few of the guys, most noteably Rios - whose SLG has increased over 200 points since Tenace.

But I think it has more to do with a healthy Wells, Rios and Overbay making terrific (and expected) contributions, and the addition of Lind than it has to do with Cito.

I will give Cito credit for being a better manager of men than Gibby, but I preferred Gibby's pure strategies.
