Showalter was able to turn around Baltimore. That was a miracle. KC with George Brett At Front Office Gave them A Different Way To The Franchise.

Showalter has always been a good manager and has been able to do this type of thing.
I knew when he was hired, that it was a real good move, his issue is not always getting his players to buy into it.
Also the fact that he didn't have the players when he got there to do what he's doing now.
Look at the Tigers before Dombrowski came on board, they were a laughing stock ... once he started getting players and they developed, the Tigers took off in '06 and have been a very good team for most of the years since then ... they just can't get the bullpen to get over the hump, it doesn't matter who he brings in, they stink.
Nathan was lights out last year for Texas as was Soria, both were terrible most of the year.
Nathan just started pitching better in the last few weeks.
Soria lost is in game 2 I think it was, couldn't throw anything.
