Extending Geren
When it comes to managers, the Athletics seem to have things backward:
- In 2002, the Athletics win the division, tie a franchise record for wins, and Art Howe loses his job.
- In 2006, the Athletics win the division, win the ALDS for the first time, and Ken Macha loses his job.
- In 2007, the Athletics finish under .500 for the first time since 1998, and Bob Geren receives a two year extension.
The front office seems to have missed the part about rewarding success and punishing failure.
