TARPONS FIRE JACKSON
In a stunning, quickly called press conference General Manager Gehrig Schilling announced the club had fired Manager Kevin Jackson and hired former Oklahoma Driller Skipper Kevin Burgess. The 48-year-old is 1251-1160 with one world series title (2000). The contract was a 5-year deal reportedly worth 2.75 million total.
“Where this team is I take responsibility for on the field. I put the best team I thought I could together. To this point, I cannot explain the level of disappointment in the club I have. The last few weeks have been trying ones on and off the field. I can work with the team on the field, the effort, from most guys, is there. The stuff happening off the field, in the clubhouse and elsewhere is unacceptable. We give these guys every possible tool to succeed and this is and always will be a “name on the front' organization. I felt that wasn't being addressed or handled properly and so, not being able to fire players, the managers/coaches end up taking the brunt of a fall like this. I sincerely appreciate everything KJ did here and wish him nothing but the best.”

GM'S OFFICE
The players, to a man, have come to me and spoken in very excited tones. I don't think any of them blame Kevin, they, for the most part, took responsibility, but they also felt like he had 'lost the clubhouse' and that's a fired manager waiting to happen. We will see.....

(I am giving him full autonomy with the team and lineups, even though I am not a fan of his lineup wishes I'll defer, and let him do the job until there is a need to step in.)
