I just read through this thread looking for policy violations. I was in the mood to delete something, and surely there would be at least a few posts in this thread that needed deleting, but you people are all having an intelligent and respectful debate. Thanks for following TD policy. My personal view is that although Gardy has been dealt some poor cards, it's just time to make a change BUT only if the replacement is someone who brings something new and valuable to the table, like Dave Martinez. I would not be happy with anyone from the Twins organization, because I think that other organizations are doing better with less money, such as the Rays and the Athletics, and I think that the Twins could benefit from someone of stature with new ideas who must be listened to by the front office.
