Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I don't get these moves. They should just fire Gaston if he's only managing for one year, and moving the staff around doesn't really matter because the next manager (assuming he comes from outside the organization) might fire them anyways.
AA's quote:
doesn't inspire much faith, either. "We have faith in the staff", but not in their previous roles. "We have faith in Cito", but he's not managing past this season. #### it, just fire him already.
(Which, if true, is probably also an indication that he will be a place-keeper GM, and this job is overwhelming him.)
Is Gaston really that objectionable as a manager for one more year?
And, yeah, losing Arnsberg is probably the biggest news here. And the baddest.
It was apparently a small group within the team. The names which I remember seeing were Wells (who cares), Hill (uh-oh), and Overbay (who cares).
Of those guys, the only one the team should be concerned about is Hill, but he's already signed to a multi-year deal on extremely favorable terms. If Wells hates Gaston that much, he can just opt out of his contract and leave.
As for Overbay, he didn't like being platooned. So what. He can't hit a lefthander's breaking ball with a paddle. Too bad.
I don't know if Wells has an issue with Gaston. Maybe Cito told him to start earning his money
Gaston is gone after 2010.
2010 is the last year on Piniella's contract and I don't see anyway he'll return to the dugout.
This is shaping up to be the greatest year for managerial retirements since at least 1976 - and that's even without considering if Joe Torre steps down, as a newspaper article indicated earlier this month.
I make the most money if you purchase it here. That said, if you'd rather go to amazon or Barnes & Noble, feel free.
Thanks for your interest!

I won't lie; if either of the other places took some money off, I'd probably have just gotten it there. Once I saw they didn't, I figured I may as well see if there was something that was better for you.
(Radio guy Mike Wilner does not agree, as per his blog "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Do The Coaching Shuffle") Wilner also says he likes new pitching coach Bruce Walton a lot (previously Jays bullpen coach last seven yrs), and hopes Brian Butterfield's move from bench coach to 3B coach is a precursor to him getting the full Manager spot after Cito leaves. And Wilner predicts the Jays will "not be ratcheting up payroll" and therefore the Roy Halladay sweepstakes will restart in a few weeks.
I know how you feel. That's what I would've done, too.
If there were a manager that Wells hated enough to opt out of his contract, that manager would probably be the most valuable acquisition the Jays could make right now.
