I believe so.
With the horrible pitching Columbus had last season Nagy will have his work cut out for him. I think there will be several new pitchers on the Columbus roster this coming season and I fully expect Nagy to help at least one seasoned pitcher to find his way back to the big league.

I'm glad to see Nagy get the chance. . Not being a dominant physical pitcher, Charlie knows how to pitch, and he parlayed that knowledge into being the one of winningest Tribe pitchers of the era. He's a genuine good guy and I wish him success.

I always liked Charles as a player. Hope this works out for him and the tribe.

Chuck was one of my favorite players. We went to numerous press tour stops prior to the season starting, and Charles was always a great representative of the organization. Plus his dry sense of humor kept us laughing most of the night.

Does Nagy have the actual working knowledge of the mechanics of pitching, or is this another hire that would lead to a ton of preventable shoulder and elbow injuries that no one seems to acknowledge?

The Tribe must think they have a good strength and conditioning guy who can fix sore arms...cause they traded for a lot of them.

But according to many fans those were good trades.

^^^I can't remember anybody on the huddle who liked them except the front office....even the most CC of fans weren't too happy. I'm still so pissed...I'm having a hard time getting past it. Especially the Lee trade.
