Now firing Fredi is an incredibly miserable failure. What a disaster.

We need a Professional

In Helms we trust!

I wonder when the Bo Porter presser will be.

Payroll issues, control over the team issues, and/or salary issues.

At this point Edwin has to stay for the remainder of the season, no? Especially since it looks like they're gonna be in a position to blow up the team at the deadline.

Heyman on MLBN said it may have been related to ESPN breaking the 4 year deal story.

I think it has to do more that the team sucks this season and he'll be offered it again in the offseason and he'll take it.

so blow it up

If that's the case, then fuck him. Take over now and right the ship if you are so good.

Makes very little sense.

[FishFanInPA]

why not try Buck Showalter then

[Party]

Because we need a manager not an OCD freak.

Yeah, why would Valentine take it now if the team's just gonna be blown up anyway? He can see what they do at the deadline, how the kids look, and how the team should look going into 2011. And he'll have a clearer picture of the 2011 payroll.

I don't blame him for passing on the job now. Valentine likely knows that he's the only guy they'd offer this job to on a non-interim basis. Next offseason, he'll have a wider selection of job opportunities and a better indication of what this team looks like in 2011. And if the Marlins job goes to someone else, so what? It's not like the Marlins are one of MLB's premier jobs anyway.
