Fall Guy?

September 27th, 2014 by Mike H. | Filed under Baseball, Phillies.

The percentage that Ruben Amaro Jr being dismissed from the organization has been declining just as steadily as the team has during his tenure. It now appears that Assistant General Manager Marti Wolever will be the fall guy for the season. Last year it was Charlie Manuel. Wolever had been with the organization for 22 years. He’s been the scouting director since 2001 and has been directly involved in drafting core players such as Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard, and Ken Giles.

Does this mean one final year of being “all in”? One more year of other GMs not being aggressive enough? One more year of closing out the season at the bottom of the division standings? Hopefully I’m wrong and Amaro can turn this organization around. I’m just worried that Amaro will continue to put this team further back into baseball obscurity.
