    I also read this...not really a shocker, as someone has to take a wrap for the inexcusable collapse. However, these types of moves rarely play out well, as the real blame is on the players, who'll likely be suiting up next season. I don't see how this team reverses things if they still hold onto Lackey, Lester, and Berdard. They need younger, more durable pitchers to have a chance.

    It wasn't his fault that all the pitchers got injured

    Players fault, but they aren't going to release all the players. He had a good run.

    they should have spent the money on Cliff Lee instead of Crawford. They would have won the division.

    I'm sure he will be able to find work, if he wants it.
