Why should Allen be the one to take the rap for the whole team. Why keep Molly, he certainly didn't produce a winning team either. As to Allen, everybody needs to start somewhere, he proved himself the Rays organization. Worked well with the pitchers. Why didn't the author of this article ask the players what they all think of Allen. You can't win the race if you don't have the horses. Give the guy a break, he had little or nothing to work with. Did everyone forget that he did a decent job last season. Did Allen's temporary replacement (during his suspension) do much better? That alone should prove that he alone did not cause the downfall of the team.
