southsider2k5 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Why wait till the end of the season? Just fire him now. Let the players each take a game to manage, hell, let Hermy manage one game, who cares at this point? Seriously though, there shouldn't even be a gap between the end of the season and the Division Series. That pink slip should be delivered September 29th. If they wait until after the season and figure out a way to send him to FLA directly, they don't owe him $2 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should no doubt be a required prerequisite for any potential hire. I require smiles whenever said manager goes out in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 15, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) I don't think it's a good deal for the Sox. Who would leadoff if you play Stanton in RF and Viciedo in LF? I hate, hate, hate this argument. Who bats in what spot in the order should not be a consideration when building a roster. You build the best roster you can first, then you make the best lineup from that roster. If you do it backwards, you artificially limit your talent pool and end up with Juan Pierre.

They won't fire him they will trade him to Florida and you can not trade players until after the World Series. If they fire him and Florida hires him I believe the Sox do not owe him anything.
