I'm thinking so.....the team isn't performing at all. I think Gibby has done amazingly well with the pitching staff and I thought that was his weakness last year. I don't know what happened during the off season but he must have studied how to run a pitching staff because he's been almost a totally different manager, as far as pitchers go. But...the team ain't playing and it's his job to get them to play.

I think the hitting coach has to go too....it might not be fair but 'hitting' is in the man's job title and they ain't hitting. If sales manager is your job title and there are no sales, your fault or no, you'd be fired.

I also think it's time to release Wilkerson, he's slugging well under .400 and he's a corner outfielder.  You can't have that. I think that if Stewart hadn't been injured he'd have to be released too. Corner outfielders have to slug over .400....unless they can get on base at a .400 clip. We don't owe these two much money, let's cut and run. It might tell the players that they have to hit like a major leaguer to keep a major league roster spot.

Rios also isn't slugging at all (.371). There are only 4 outfielder in the AL slugging worse with 200 or more at bats. But since we owe the boy a few bucks releasing him isn't posible. But maybe it is time to take him out behind the wood shed, at least . Call him out in the papers and say this is unacceptable.

It is almost the half way point of the season and our top home run hitter has 8. We might not have a 20 home run season out of any player. Wells  is our leading RBI guy with 28!! We might not get 70 RBI's out of anyone this year. Josh Hamilton has 74 RBI's already.
