2 years, 156-168 record. Not going to cut it for a division as tough as the AL West.

Art Howe is the perfect fit in my opinion, since someone like Bowa might be a little too wild. Pinella was wild (but controlled), but I think Howe is a little harder on his players than Melvin was, which is what Seattle needs right now for all these young guys on the team.

Arte Howe was as hard on his players as Bob Dole's penis.

Isn't Piniella still on contract with the D-Rays?

What about if Seattle just went with Moliter, probably a pretty good canidate. I'd take him over Bowa :/

He was fired as hitting coach along with Melvin, so I don't think that's a possibility. ;)

Coaches Fired: Manager Bob Melvin, pitching coach Bryan Price, hitting coach Paul Moliter, and bench coach whatever his name is.
