I’ve never been a fan of Bowden’s style either, but I was stunned by his handling of the Cordero situation. Totally classless. The team site says that Bowden has since personally apologized to Chad (I would guess because he was told to do so).

Amen, Stephanie. The litany of embarrassments is getting too long to endure much longer.

other than being happier with the Rauch deal than you are, i agree wholeheartedly. i would add, though, the “reward” contract handed out to Guzman and the lousy FA signing of Rob Mackowiak as more examples of Bowden’s ineffectiveness.

I do like Chad and do see where the non-tender thing is a smart move. It’s the way the situation was handled that really bugs me. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that even if something like this happened to Lo Duca I’d be mad. Bowden opening his mouth on a whim like that is not the way to treat a player…any player.

He’s terrible. He’s arrogant. He’s a criminal. And he’s unethical.

I’ll be honest, couldn’t care less about the Cordero thing, but understand why people like him.

He sucks, plain and simple.
The Dukes move gets him no credit in my book; Tampa was basically giving him away.
He was in Cincy for how long? something like 12 years, and had ONE team make the playoffs in that time (in an NL central division that was not particularly strong)
how did this asshole get another job?
