I think its a combination of youg talent being developed and confidence and respect in and for the coaching staff. The GM really hasnt done that much. He got Bonderman as a throw in for Weaver and we hand Verlander,Zumaya and Granderson in the minors. he found a gem in Shelton in the Rule 5 but as for free agent moves he has had to overpay for injury plagued players.

The thing with the minor league system is that up until this year we would always have great minor leaguers that never panned out with the big club, but this year that is changing.

As for Trammell a big problem with him was injuries which (knock on wood) we havent had too many of this year, but with that said NO they would not be doing as good imo bc the players just had no respect for him and really?? why should they??
