    Aren't the odds against every single player sucking that we've received in a trade the past 3-4 years? You'd think by accident one of them would at least be ok.

    run it down for me, JK ;)

    RIP baseball for 2014. That's what Amaro gets for sending Ruf back down.

    I'm going to wind up knowing every single one of the Sixers 5 2nd round draft picks by heart.

    Amaro has to be the 1st to go because how can we expect to get any decent prospects back with him still at the helm?

    would they can him mid season though? that's the thing that sucks. if he's fired, the next gm will be here after the fire sale takes place.


    also the draft is today....last year's draft is supposedly the only thing our scouts have done right in the last few years. hopefully that continues.


    this blows.

    Can't fire him mid season for just that reason. If you fire the GM you fire the majority of the front office. Draft is today and you have to sign those players, not to mention the inevitable trades coming. Too much in too short of a time for another GM to handle with a new staff.

    I think collectively, that we could handle this. I can get to CBP in 20 minutes. Who's with me?

    You can fire him. Have Gillick step in and finish the season out. And let Gillick stay if he wants or allow him to pick the next guy.

    How old is Gillick now? I doubt he would want to do that.

    Baseball gm's rarely get fired. It looks like the last one to get canned was none other than Ed Wade 3 years ago. That's pretty strange.

    I don't think they fire him until after the season when they can take their time finding a replacement. Like Cliff said, there's too much stuff that needs to be done short term.

    And not to mention, what has Gillick been doing that you know he could step right in and sign a full draft's worth of amateur players that he had no real role in drafting? Along with trading players away for prospects that he likely hasn't scouted? And he would be doing this with Amaro's staff because you aren't replacing scouts midseason. So you would have the same people scouting the same players just with a different leader at the helm. Yeah, that's not happening.

    What does a Senior Advisor do? Don Zimmer was just a Senior Advisor.

    Replacing a GM is not something you do overnight. As evidenced by the Ed Wade stat, which is insane and I had no idea.

    Gillick is still in the organization I think. I'd rather him trade Papelbon,Rollins,Chooch and Utley then Amaro.
