I'm not a huge Whaley fan, mainly because his demeanor and public speaking leave a LOT of to be desired. But, he has been responsible for finding good value in players that are considered done, busts, or not good. The Richie signing, Lorax, Micah Hyde, etc. Plus, kept some solid players on this team. He didn't reach on keeping Gilmore or Wood. If Doug worked his magic on the KC trade, then he stays. I also think it would be too disruptive to fire him at this point in time. Maybe after the season if we digress further. But, he seems to be working to bring in good-value players still.
