Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Dude, WTF? I'm not on the fire Macha bandwagon, but this sort of stuff really makes me question. An argument can be made for starting McGehee over Counsell, but if you're giving McGehee the night off, you really need to be playing Gamel. It's the only thing that makes sense.

And of course I meant to say

starting McGehee over Gamel. Anyway, you see my point.

I agree

If you want to have Counsell play put him at 2b. You still wopuld have the extra left handed bat if you start Gamel

good one

I’m not even sure why that was funny but it made me laugh. If you could somehow work a Dave Clark 5 referrence into it it wouldv’e been perfect

Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder were talking about this on the tele this evening

It was funny, really. They claim Macha feels that Mat Gamel did not work out some ‘kinks’ in his swing when he went down earlier in the year, and as such is not starting, as the big leagues are not the place to work out such ‘kinks’.

I hate it when managers mold out a load of crap just to throw it out there when asked. Its not even a good attempt to excuse the non-move. I mean, did Macha really think that the team sent Gamel down to ‘work on his swing’? Isn’t it more logical to assume the was sent down to play regularly? Or is that what Macha is trying to say, but can’t seem to find the right words? Or did the FO tell him that’s why they were doing it?

Whatever.

I don’t have a category for "washed-up guys who may or may not be dominant big-league closers sometime soon."
