What if someone is sitting on each side of you though?

If I hire a Bench coach with a high fielding instructor rating, 79, will he effect defense as much as a FI with a 79 rating? Does that make sense? 

It makes sense but, as I understand it, no.

I thank you?

I suppose you do.

Thoughts on Clemson-FSU? One of my better friends in a Clemson alum, he thinks this team is a little overrated; he's not very optimistic about this game.

I think, on a neutral field, that FSU is the better team.   However, Clemson at night is a different game.  We're talking about 19-20 y/o players.  I think the outcome depends on how Jameis Winston handles the noise/pressure.  And, yeah, I think Clemson is overrated.  They're not the 3rd best team in the country.  Their only road test is SC and that's at the end of November.   

Can you give your thoughts on the loud owners who come in, scream that a 85-90 win young team is not built to win, tank, dump young talent for younger DH/1b talent, bail after two bad seasons, and leave having set the team back?   How about your views on those who have to follow them, playing with one arm tied behind their back because of the previous owner's arrogance and poor judgement?

Has the MikeT ever saved a franchise who had been gutted to the 40-50 win level by an arrogant but misguided owner?

I'm overly annoyed by owners who begin tearing teams down the very moment they enter the world.   Some teams need it, some don't but, either way, no one knows how a world plays when they first enter it.   It's called a "reclamation project" when one takes over a mess.

I've done a couple(although I know nothing about the previous owner):

Is it unreasonable to think that once you have put in 21 years of service with a company that you should be able to legally drink alcohol on the job?

Please sure you can legally drink on the job.   Your employer might fire you for being drunk but it's not against the law(unless you drive for a living).

Who will win at Hell in A Cell, Randy Orton or Daniel Bryan?

I've never even heard of Daniel Bryan.    So Orton.
