Eh, I don't like the hire, hate the process, but I'm not going to hate on the man.  Dusty seems to be personable.  I like him on TV.  Players don't cuss him out behind his back.  I'm still very skeptical about his use of pitchers (both bullpen and starting) and would have preferred Black for that alone, and I want to see if his offense philosophy is more a function of the players he has and less a result of refusal to accept information.  I'll really be curious to see if he takes in defensive information and uses it.  I have doubts, but even 2 years off and some time in the studio may have led him to see "hey, there might be something to this."
