He might have been better in the last quarter of the season - I didn't watch too many Jays games due to Sportsnet One popping up.
But Cito was awful at managing the bullpen. It's odd though - he has a completely modern style of managing the bullpen where everything revolves around getting guys a save, but he hasn't managed in baseball since the mid-90s. Things weren't like they were in the 70's and prior then, but the save wasn't nearly as popular as it is now. I guess it makes sense with his ridiculous "John Buck has to hit 20 home runs" managing while Arencibia sits on the bench.
