Article by Levesque sums up Melvin firing
Glad to see John Levesque of the PI had the same take on the Bavasi PC as I did: link
"In describing how Melvin fought to keep Freddy Garcia on the team when management had pretty much decided not to tender him a contract offer after the 2003 season, Bavasi said the front office considered Garcia one of the most overpaid pitchers in the American League. Didn't say he was bad, or injured, or even moody. Just overpaid."
Regardless of how you felt about Melvin, the fact is Bavasi's head is next if this thing doesn't get turned around.
At least we have the playoffs tonight to take our mind of the mess that is our Seattle Mariners.
