Bryan Price leaving a good thing

I hope we know more in the coming weeks what caused Price to leave. Problems with Hargrove? Problems with all the losses? Joining Piniella or Melvin some where? At this point, who knows.

What we do know is the M's haven't been pitching well the past few seasons under Price's watch. We know he has not solved the riddle that is Gil Meche. Maybe no one can.

But it's time to get some new blood in the organization. Frankly the present M's as we know it stink. The fact they ONLY lost 93 games instead of 99 falls is largely meaningless. Both teams stunk, and we all agree rolling out the same bunch of players and coaches we had this year will only result in more losing.

We may come to regret having Price leave, but I doubt it. The M's need fresh ideas, and perhaps that's the biggest reason behing his leaving.
