I think that is ridiculous. You've raved about DM. Then you make these guarantees such as the one you made when you guaranteed that the Brewers would trade for Morneau. Well....sorry, but the Rockies have a say in the matter as well and they flat out said he wasn't available according to Melvin who was clearly frustrated with the lack of teams willing to deal. And didn't you say the Brewers would be TEN GAMES ahead of the Cardinals by the ASB, then by the 1st of September? So now he's worth 11 more wins than who we have currently and he's cost us the playoffs using your logic? Again, this is all moot if the team you're trying to trade with won't trade with you. Melvin has put together a team that is 1 game behind the Dodgers who have 2.5 times the payroll we do in the National League and are 3 games up on the Cardinals in the division. Not sure how that translates to a lack of job security. Trading Nelson, Arcia, Coulter and Taylor and then giving Price 8 years and close to 200 million would have been grounds to fire him IMO, a move you were adamantly advocating. I agree HiAndTight what a ridiculous suggestion that Melvin should be fired. He has put together a team who is competing for a division title and it's August. How in the world would that result in him being canned? PFX just wants Melvin canned because none of his guarantees are coming true ... I view it as standard operating procedure that DM will be blamed in this scenario and will be fired.
