was this the guy who was fired b/c of clayton?

Yes it is.

He was fired because he got on Williams' s*** list and was blamed for the very next thing that went wrong.

Wasn't he one of William's very good buddies?

 

I don't think KW wanted to fire him, but it happened that way.

 

Not positive on this though.

von zigged when he should have zagged....kw has no buddies any longer who are in this org...... and i dont forsee him making any new friends...........

you are wrong, what about d boston?

Wouldn't that make many of you guys happy. KW got rid of his cronies and decided to let JM hire the crew. I know some say Boston, but I also know Kimm was brought in because he was Jerry's guy.

 

Maybe KW thought things would go good if he did that, obviously he is mistaken and I can only hope he's learned and is correcting that problem.

 

So far as gm for the sox he's learned:

The importance of double checking (Berry, Barry)

The Importance of Chemistry (Clayton)

The importance of no Spies (Maybe?)

now if he can only learn not to be a control freak.....and learn how to trade .......and learn how to truely listen instead of talking s*** all the time....and ... oh hell i can go on all nite....lets just hope he learns something important in the upcoming season without it costing us alot..............

Joshua was a Manuel guy. He got fired in Williams first year as GM.
