Now under contract through 2015.

Should lift some of the season banter\distraction.

No details.

Currently 108th All-Time winningest coach, with 611 Wins (in 7 Seasons).

With 2 seasons (2014-15) give him 85Ws average (currently @ 87Ws/yr)... would put him at 781.

At 781, he'd be at 77th, ahead of Clint Hurdle (10yr/774Ws). Aside from Hurdle, I believe Wedge, Yost, Bob Melvin, Joe Maddon, Terry Collins and Joe Girardi I believe are the active coaches between Wash and 781.

9 other Active coaches ahead of him (Leyland-22, Baker-20, Bochy-19, Johnson-17, Scioscia-14, Showalter-15, Francona-13, Manuel-12, Gardenhire-12).

That's 17th Active coach.

Not even 24 hours after basically saying "I'm going to bunt and I don't care if the #'s say it's wrong."

I'm just relieved it's only a 1 year extension. I still have my sights set on Maddux taking the skipper role here at some point.

Can Dusty Baker still be considered active if he was fired at the end of 2013 and hasn't signed with anybody for 2014?

Baseball’s new analytics — and a Greek chorus of bunt-loathing fans and media — will tell you that the sacrifice bunt is the most self-defeating tradition in baseball.

In fact, a member of the spring training media tried to tell Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington just that Sunday morning. Washington wasn’t angered by the question. But as often is the case with Wash, a topic that’s passionate to him unleashed a passionate and colorful response.

“I think if they try to do that, they’re going to be telling me how to [bleep] manage,” Washington said. “That’s the way I answer that [bleep] question. They can take the analytics on that and shove it up their [bleep][bleep].”

Washington has heard all the moans and complaints about his bunting.

“Mike Scioscia dropped 56 sacrifice bunts on his club, the most in the league, and he’s a genius,” Washington continued. “But Ron Washington dropped 53 and he’s bunting too much? You can take that analytics and shove it. I do it when I feel it’s necessary, not when the analytics feel it’s necessary, not when you guys feel it’s necessary, and not when somebody else feels it’s necessary. It’s when Ron Washington feels it’s necessary. Bottom line.”
