Good luck, Bob! You really can't do any worse than Curt Young.
McClure was the pitching coach in Kansas city for several years. He inherits a staff that under-performed, to say the least, down the stretch last season. I'm sure the discussion has already taken place about how to keep Beckett, Lester & Buchholz in line & focused on reaching the playoffs.
Maybe he can use some of his rah-rah experience with young pitchers in Kansas City to get our vets to enjoy the game again & play up to their potential. As we use to tell our kids, when you don't give your best, you hurt your fellow teammates, but most of all you cheat yourself.
This pitching staff may be sick of hearing all the off-season criticism. Maybe they will all come back with a chip on their shoulder & with something to prove. The fans deserve their absolute best after last year.
