The fall guy for 2007! Looks like JP & Co. have another year before they get axed.

unfair if you ask me, I've always liked Brantley and he seems popular with the players. but someones got to take the fall i guess.

also if you read the article, the CP reports this is one of several changes on the staff to come including Butterfield moving from third base to bench coach. At least he's not coaching third no more. It said Whitt was moving somewhere else in the organization. Wonder what else will come? Maybe a managerial move is on the horizon?

You're right, someone has to be the one to take the fall. I'm not so sure he, or anyone for that matter, deserves it after this season. That's just the way baseball goes sometimes.

I don't like this, he has a great offence, all this seasons problems were injuries, he has a good crop of hitters and should be kept in my mind.
