Let's just hope that the medicals come back positive on Donaldson.

Yup. Just terrible bullpen management all the way around no matter how you slice it.
I really hope Gibbons is gone soon, but I doubt that as the Jays aren't a team that's going to pay his salary while they pay someone else. He's also been handed the keys to Lambo so the team will win despite his deficiencies.
I noticed a couple of pages you ago you said that outside of the bullpen he is a good manager. Do you think it's because of his intangibles or something like that? In my opinion, from a pure strategy perspective he's pretty bad. His playing his "hunches" as routinely cost the Jays. People like to point towards the second half of last year, but Gibbons severely underachieved for the two and half years before that. I'd be much more comfortable with someone like Terry Francona or someone else of that ilk like running this team.
