Lies been with us for six years and he knows the players both Here and in the farm system. Continuity is ver important and we feel that Jimy can pick up where Bob Cox left where Cox left off was 91 regular season wins and a berth in the postseason playoffs. The club fell one Victory shy of us first Pennant leaving Williams open for criticism should the club fad to match or surpass those accomplishments.
