Showalter may not be a genius but as a manager he is definitely very good and perhaps excellent. I though that he should of had Britton ready to go and that going to Ubaldo was a mistake. Nonetheless, he is a very good manager who has brought success to the Baltimore Orioles. Just one man's opinion.
