a lot of this is about asses in seats.

collins’ teams have always shown a big improvement over the previous season. and he has some instant credibility with the knuckleheads. bulls fans weren’t going to have patience for ty corbin.

i think the idea is to hire him

and one of other top choices as an assistant. you get the three good years out of collins (the teams always improve under him) and then have a non-retread take over when collins pulls his larry brown.

Is Heath humble or what? But he doesn't give up. From Mark Gonzales' mailbag

I have to admit I was wrong with my assessment of ”...a healthy Jerry Owens, helps the team more than a healthy Carlos Quentin” a few weeks ago. The more I read about his preparation and ability when healthy, I can see why Williams targeted this guy a couple years ago. I still contend more speed is needed in the lineup to field a better all-around team, but definitely not at the expense of Carlos Quentin. Do you know the latest on Owens being possibly called up (any chance Thome gets moved before the break and moving Paulie to DH to make room), or since they are playing so well lately has everything kind of been put on the backburner?—Heath, Omaha
