I love Gibby and I'm thrilled with this move!
Did not expect it to be sure, but filling out a good lineup card and using the bullpen well were my major complaints with Farrell and Cito; not something I brush aside.
I, as others have mentioned, condone the altercation with problem-children on earlier teams. It only concerns me insofar as it reflects a lack of character...but you learn a lot about a guy's character when he gets fired and 're-hiring him tells me what they learned in that process.
I also just found the guy likeable. However silly or uninformed that is, I''ll be happy to have him back as part of my Jays experience.
