Omar staying......

Now I don't think Omar is perfect and I definitely have had my moments of frustration with him but overall he has done a very good job. Omar's biggest failure is not improving this bullpen over the past two seasons, basically he has stayed with a group of relievers that were the main contributors to one of the biggest collapses in baseball history. Over relying on Sanchez's comeback and a rebound from Heilman could result in missing the playoffs again.

But the fact that were even vying for the playoffs should be a credit to Omar, this team was a basement dweller for four years prior to his arrival. Since returning he made drastic improvements in '05' and the past three years we've been a contender.

Reports are leaking out that Omar will get a four year extension after the season, some are surprised that he would get the contract before it's known whether the team makes the playoffs. But the fact that were fighting for a playoff spot in the last weak of the season is enough proof of his success for me.....
