Feel like I  have to bring it up.  Am I the only one upset Marlins let go of Mel Stottlemyre Jr. ? Who could replace him?  Something  I like to read and get people thoughts on. 

from real fans . not ones that keep making same old jokes.

I understand that sentiment. Still, I expected a full housecleaning for the new manager to fill his staff.  In truth, I was somewhat surprised that Schumaker inherited him. Of course, as a rookie manager, it may have been a condition of his acceptance for the Marlins (Mel was under contract, but also had a good reputation). Schumaker himself might have thought the gesture/acceptance of Stottlemyre ingratiated him with the team (at least to some members of the pitching staff). You know all of that. I just don't get too attached to any of them, although I have my favorites. Coaching effectiveness is a crapshoot anyway, in my opinion.
