Glad Johnson is gone....had too many whiffs with hi picks. And clearing out the Falvey nuildup of front office is fine. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

Have to replace 90 rbis. (not even mentioned in article) That is huge on this team. But keep him for $5m, need $ to get Jeffers back or you lose both top rbi guys.

Baldelli lost another tonight. And he is not a good manager for young players, Walner & Julien. You have to let them face lefties early & often or they will never learn to hit them. Pinch hitting every time kills confidence. B Martin's Brother

Not much faith in this FO to trade for pitching. They cannot identify good pitchers in FA or in the draft. (SJ has to go.) Plus they gave a love affair with sliders at 89-90 that end up as bombs. Need to get pitchers that throw 95+ first, then worry about offspeed. Mayber with the little general. lover of sliders, gone. they will redefine their pitching to fast ball first pitchers.
