I just know they are 3-8 after last night and I've already seen people predict Vitello will be one-year manager. I like the unconventional hire personally, and if you experiment like that you need to let it play out. But then, this is also the team whose last GM gave Kapler his second chance.

If you make an unconventional hire and it works out, you are a visionary. If it does not, you're a crackpot. Hiring Kapler was one of many things Klentak couldn't live down (aside from progressively worse Phillies bullpens).
