Look I totally understand why Alex Anthopolous hired John Gibbons. AA just spent a huge chunk of the owner's cash on baseball players. His neck is out there and he needs to find a manager who he can trust. He knows John Gibbons from his first go through as manager.
Incidently, it's not just AA who likes Gibbons. Everyone likes him. They players, management, the fans,etc. He's a nice guy which was so obvious in his introductory press conference. He was also under-rated as a manager, his record was pretty good.
The media will focus on the Lilly and Hillenbrand incidents. So what. They aren't on the team. I'm sure Gibbons has learnt some things from back then.
He may not be the best manager available but this is more about who AA trusts with his team.
