Holy crap people....how many hints does @Jeff Fletcher have to give for you guys to get it? 

If it was up to Eppler, Brad would not have been fired.  Eppler trained Brad for a year in analytics, he then chose the coaching staff who were all analytics based and he had a goal for this team that would work overtime.  Brad managed this team pretty much exactly how Eppler wanted him to.  The results sucked due to injuries, a death and lack of talent, but in Billy's long term vision, he knew this would take at least a couple years to evolve.  Arte initially bought into the plan, but after the worst season in 20 years, he was pissed and didn't like what he saw.  As soon as it was definite that Maddon was going to be available, Arte lowered the boom on Eppler and his plan.  This is why Eppler looked and acted the way he did at least weeks press conference.

This and only this ^^^^^^^^^^

...the end

Should have also fired Eppler, if true....go ahead and hire Dombrowski, along with Maddon....

Fletch agrees 

[Dtwncbad]

So when does Maddon get announced?

This is stupid.  He is the next manager.

[Angel Oracle]

And have him bring Jim Hickey out of retirement to be pitching coach.

Still only turning 58, and helped to build the Rays pitching into a solid staff over 11 years while working with Maddon for 8 of those years.
