Hate to say it, but I've watched more than my share of baseball games over the past few years and CBM is not the answer. I don't think he can recruit and I'm not sure how great of an in game Manager he is. I like him with the Pitchers, but I just don't see it as the leader.
That being said, he comes back for Year 3...and my prediction is another long, bad year with not much talent. And then he gets the axe.
