Posted: 4/5/2012 8:03:16 PM [Last Edit: 12/17/2012 6:37:19 PM by GiggleSmith] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Baseball Season Has Started. Along with it, the race who is going to get fired first has started. Last Year was an unusual year that saw more Managers quit or retire than were fired. Historically this means that this year might be very bloody. What team owners will lose their heads and cause their managers (and maybe some coaches) to lose theirs? Place your bets: The headsmen are sharpening their axes.

Posted: 4/22/2012 9:45:03 AM I would love to see Bobby V get the ax, but it's not going to happen unfortunately. Unless he does something really insane he will keep his job for the next year or two. Most likely two years. Bud Black (Padres) and Dusty Baker (Reds) are my favorites for first to get canned. I would love to see John Farrell get the ax in Toronto and replace the big nose glasses wearing loudmouth.

It certainly wasn't all Acta's fault, but he took the fall. During the club's August meltdown, Acta tried everything he could to turn things around. He changed his starting lineup, called team meetings, altered routines - all to no avail. Once the Indians began to slip in the standings, there was nothing the 43-year-old Acta could do to stop them. Next:

I think there are going to be a few post season firings as well. Bobby Valentine is as good as gone, Clint Hurdle's job is not safe, I'm not even sure that Ron Gardenhire is safe.
