Would you fire Duquette?

[weams]

Yes I'd fire. Like others have said and I've said he road the wave that McPhail created.

It's MacPhail. Like the road.

And he's just so smug. He just comes across like some super self important guy who pushes papers in a cozy office. We shouldn't have fired Mcphail.

I think McPhail wanted out to go for commissioner if I remember correctly.

Absolutely not, and I'm a guy who thinks his trades have been abysmal.

It's MacPhail. And we never fired him. He went to help his dad die for a year or so.

So, Executive of the Year after last season and fired after this one?

Hey, Davey Johnson had even less time after winning Manager of the Year. And that worked out wonders!

I was against that too.

I say no. DD had half an off season to work with because of Toronto's tampering. I'd give him the full off season to right the ship. He'd have a warm seat for 2016.

He rode the wave? Which wave? The one that kept missing the playoffs and would have hired Eric Wedge in place of Buck? The fact that McPhail gets any credit beyond acquiring Jones/Tillman and Hardy in trades astounds me. He didn't do much else.

I get your anger right now but I don't think Dan should go. Doesn't take a genius to see how important this upcoming offseason will be.

I don't think Dan has shown an ability to sign the right players. He's signed players at the height of their value (Ubaldo), he's traded for guys playing awell above their career norms (Parra). He's offered guys arbitration (Hunter, Matusz, De Aza) which were relatively high price players, only to DFA them (De Aza) after a short period of trade them for AAAA players and salary space (Hunter for Lake). He's let Cruz walk along with Nick while signing a fleet of AAAA players trying to fill their void. He's traded mid-tier players like Tarpley for guys like Snider who only had half a season of success. He's shown an inability to straighten guys like Arrieta out...and dumps them for non-impact players like Feldman who only put together a couple months of success (relative to his past career of mediocrity). And this is just a snippet of Duquette's tenure here. Let's not even get into the Rule V infatuation which has at times really held the team back.

Yes, he's signed guys like Pearce. And that's made him look good. And guys like Gonzo and Chen. There have certainly been a few additions made by Duquette. But his failures have really hurt this team long term. The core was really put together by MacPhail.

Buck was hired before Duquette.

Andy MacPhail was trading the best players from a team that had lost for a decade plus. A very different scenario.

What about drafting Machado and Weiters? And trading for Davis? Btw all that Jones and Hardy and Tillman he did were key pieces to this team making the playoffs and winning lots of ball games.

uhhhhh..........

I don't know. Maybe Chris Davis, Wieters and Machado were big deals?

He brought in this one guy who has hit 129 HRs for us.
