Why Washington should have never been hired

This manager had no background in running a team and with the history
of the Rangers pitching it was unfair to expect this manager to
succeed.There have been cases of experianced managers having success
with less than quality pitching but in those cases there was usually
outstanding defense (supposed to be a staple of Washington's) and
patient but timely hitting (something else Washington harped on when
he was hired).That being said,this team is going to lose 100 games and
will have taken another huge step backwards because Washington just
does not have the experiance to guide a team with patchwork pitching
and from the way it looks he seems to not have a lot to bring to the
table anywhere.

Not sure I have much of an argument with what you say, but I have
three places to lay blame before I get to Ron Washington.

First, Tom Hicks is by far the worst owner in baseball. Ingnoring
Melvin and letting him go when he advised rebuilding, the AROD
signing, and the Hart years have laid waste to this team.

Second, Jon Daniels. He seemed like a good choice at the time, but
after the trades he has made I have no faith in him. The Robbie Tejeda
for Delucci trade is the only one that hasn't blown up in his face.

Third, the players. They, with the exception of Tex and Sammy, are
just not performing.

If I saw RW making moves that I thought didn't make sense, I'd maybe
have a different opinion. He makes moves that make sense, but the
players don't deliver. Not sure he's the man for the job, but he's far
from being the main problem.
