    He (Greg Gross) put his time in and deserves it.

    Now, find a quality replacement.

    It’s never been so much the promotions and injuries, which are a part of the game, so much as the replacement part, ever so tricky for a Philadelphia team challenged by organizational depth.

    What is Jorge Velandia doing and is his resume up to date?

    doesn’t seem like Huppert has that fire in his belly anymore, to try to win a game when it’s within his grasp…

    I believe Velandia is with Williamsport, still within the organization, and he was the first person I thought of when I heard this…

      Then again, he (Huppert) called the six-year journeymen free agents “whores” in the paper this morning. I can’t believe they printed it. Perhaps he does have some fire left…
