For the thousands and thousands of fire Greg Walker posts, I have yet to see one that actually names someone as an available better alternative. Firing Walker because some of these line-ups don't score would be like firing whoever is "coaching" defense because Betemit couldn't catch the ball, or firing Cooper because MacDougal couldn't throw a strike.
the problem is... the whole entire team isn't hitting well. it isn't just one person that is the problem. cooper has a great track record with all his starters, so if his whole staff has an off year, it's completely normal for a regression. this team has had hitting problems since 2005 with 2006 being an anomaly.
