Charlie Manuel should have been fired a long time ago.

As much talent as this team has, they need some sort of shakeup. It just does not work right now. You are right about the players to keep. I think I would keep Jimmy Rollins as well. I think we also need to go out and get an ace to this staff. You would think with the talent we are willing to trade, we could get one. I am hoping that Cole Hamels can be that guy, but I just don't know.
I don't know if Cole Hammels is the answer. I thought (and still do if he gets his head on right) Meyers was gonna be the man. But, as evident by recent happenings, he is a bit of a head case.
I just think it is now the product of the years and years of high hopes Ed Wade and Montgomerie had in the farm system. Each and every year they had "the next steve Carlton/nolan Ryan" in their system. Franklin, Floyd, Hamels, Madsen. They could have traded away some of that talent for a proven started, but that never happened.
Let's just hope Gillick is as good as he has shown in the past and can turn this thing around. Either that or put Billy Penn on top of another building to cancel that curse. :nopityA:
