the Spin

Enjoyed Ed Eagle's focus on Spin Williams this morning.

True or false: the Bucs should have more coaches. On the one hand, all the players are young and need instruction. Some of the praise lavished on Jose Mesa amounted to thanking him for reminding them to tie their shoelaces. It made me wonder (as did some of the recent reports on Santiago) if it really made sense to pay so much money for player-coaches if a large part of the rationale for their hiring comes from the fact that they coach. Why not hire more coaches?

On the other hand, too many cooks spoil the broth. And perhaps the last thing some of the players want is more coaching. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
