Backman fills the D-backs managerial vacancy.

Is there a rule that says the D-Backs manager must be an absolute prick?

Schowalter, Brenly and now Backman.

I'm looking for big things from the Diamondbacks this coming year, 2005. Backman was/is a scrapper and will do anything to beat you. His Birmingham Barons clubs all played that way.

I wonder if Darryl Boston will be part of his coaching staff.

Anyone think this makes Kenny really want to get RJ? I'm sure he'd love to take Backman's best pitcher away from him.

I can see that happening.
