So he is a good enough manager to consistently get his team to the play-offs and now that is looked at as a bad thing?

There are plenty of managers that would love to have the two championships that he has.

And 06 was much more about him making tough decisions to the line-up and benching the little baby Rolen than any slow roller to the mound.
