Actually Pat, I'm surprised I didn't get a call. My records in fantasy have been on the Hinch level the last few seasons. Your story sounds more like Grady Little or Ned Yost (a la Brewers). The Astros weren't interested in successful managers that faded. They were interested in ineptitude. Dammit, I'm calling the EEOC on my behalf. I sucked. I should have been called.

I am a senior writer at thefantasyfix.com and a staff writer at bigleaguesmag.com. The Hall of Fame Index is also still for sale and as relevant as ever.
