One and Done.

Yesterday our fantastic starting rotation drove off Curt Young. His main mis-step seems to have been expecting grown men to act like grown men and do what they were being paid millions of dollars to do instead of acting like surly teenagers.

It's no great loss, I guess. While both Bot and Beckett had strong years, it was the pitching that failed them in the end. And he seemed to be unable to do anything to fix the problem when Albers and Bard stumbled. Annoying, though.

So Curt goes back to Oakland and whoever the new manager is gets to pick out his own pitching coach.
