I wonder if Wetteland is too offbeat for the guys who run teams to believe they can trust him to be pitching coach, much less manager. Just looking now, Frank Robinson fired him from the Nationals' bullpen job in 2006 and said: "It wasn't just their performance. It was the idea of them not handling themselves during game time in a professional way." But his stuff is working here, and it's easy to overlook how good a closer he was: he must have credibility with the relievers.
