I have no idea how you could ever fix Matheny as manager.

bwaaaa........I really like this team versus last year. 10 more wins should be doable. Defense is much improved and somewhere on this team is a decent closer. Looking at the 1-8 batting order,it's pretty impressive.
On the down side, Waino drama and a weak D at the corners. The pen SHOULD be decent.
If they struggle, or don't make it this time, Mikey should be gone. Enough grace time already as is.

Matheny is broken beyond repair. He just isn't a MLB level manager. He's had 6 or 7 years to get better and hasn't. He was handed a WS caliber team and forked it up. He was badly out-managed in a WS and several times in the playoffs. The only way to fix him is to move him to another role in the organization.
Power play is easy to fix. Hire a coach with a great special teams track record. Develop a PP that suits what you have on your roster. And don't let Yeo within 10' of the clipboard that diagrams the PP...
