I liked Hargrove...I dont think anyone else would have done any better with the Available talent but at the same time I believe it was time for a change. This probably happened mostly because Jim Beatie and Mike Flanagan wanted to get their own man in. I cant believe that they would actually think that Hargrove should have done better with the team. They didnt finish the season well but I would attribute most of that to them losing Ponson.

Anyways I cant say that this was shocking but I dont think his successor willl do any better than he would have done next year. In the long run it is probably a good move though.

And I don't think that you can really blame Baltimore's struggles on Hargrove. In my opinion, the reason they were so bad was because they spent so much money on guys like Albert Belle and David Segui, guys who gave them next to nothing. Hopefully, Hargrove will catch on somewhere.
