I'm still not sold on Montoyo either but I also don't totally blame him for yesterday. Giles did look fine getting the first 2 and while yes you want a manager to make a hard decision like that I also see the angle of trusting your guys. In the second game of the season if your high end closer is telling you he is fine I don't think believing he can get it done is egregious.

While his decision are for up for debate he does seem like a manager that let's his guys be themselves and there are positives to that I think we are seeing. it was a pretty impressive series for the Jays considering the competition.

Because he has already been around for a while it is so easy to forget Vlad just turned 21. I agree you want to see more work ethic and a commitment to fitness but I think you can say that about a lot of 21 year olds, never mind one's as supremely talented as he is.
