Dbacks Fire Kevin Towers

[Phrazbit]

What was Brynes worst move? Probably the Eric Byrnes contract? Towers seemingly tossed out two such disasters per winter.

Well, actually Brynes worst move was probably naming AJ Hinch as manager. That was pretty bad.

I had heard that AJ Hinch is a candidate for the Astros job.

That would sound a lot better IF he traded Kennedy FOR Delgado.

I know you were joking.

We got a great haul for Kennedy. That is one of Towers good trades.

Kennedy for Stites, Thatcher, and a pick that became Marcus Wilson - Wilson is the #8 prospect for the DBacks now. Stites has good stuff but a bad ERA. Thatcher has been spun into Borenstein and Khrebiel. Borenstein is DBacks current #20 prospect.

Correct, which is what I put above. That draft pick ended up being one of our top OF prospects now.
