That was outstanding analysis, and I happen to agree with pretty much all of it.  It's an interesting observation that Maddon has never had a winning record in a full season as a manager.  And yet the analysis put this fact in context...it will indeed be interesting to see how things change once the Rays turn the corner toward being competitive (which will happen).  Based on my own observations and knowledge, he will adapt his approach appropriately, and in subtle ways not intended to call attention to himself, but rather toward putting his team in the best position to win. For that he will be labeled weak by some. And that criticism will not bother him.

I suggest this article should be mandatory reading for not only Rays fans, but for sports analysts in general.  Great job.
