Do you Approve of Walt?



I am a sucker for polls, and poll data.  I have done this from time to time in the past.  How do you feel about Walt?  Look at his entire body of work since he was hired in April of 2008, and do you feel like he is up to snuff?  I think this should produce some interesting results.  I don't think there is a clear line of thought on this blog about Walt.  Like almost all of us hate Dusty, and almost all of us hated Narron, but I don't think the thoughts on Walt are quite as homogeneous.

I disprove of Jocketty.  Mostly because of Taveras and Rolen.  No reason to reiterate why I feel this way, as I have said it multiple times on this board.  I also don't think he is very creative or proactive.  There were plenty of times where the Reds were playing a man or two short last year, due to his not wanting to use the D.L.  Remember after the Padres extra inning game when he didn't even call up one extra arm to help out a tired staff?  There were many other instances when he didn't D.L. injured players who were unavailable for a week or more, but they weren't DL'd.  He hamstrung a manager who is already tested by his lack of creativity.
