Yes, I am glad to see there are others on board with us on this. Joe has A LOT of POWER in THIS organization- loved the "Joe Almighty" reference. I think it could be something as silly as who kisses up to him and who doesn't. One example is Kotchman- there is no way he should have seen his name in the 7 slot all of last year with the rest of the team batting 50 to 120 points below him. Yes it DOES mean something to these guys, they're too good and know TOO much to think one man can change the game of baseball. And where is Kotchman now...GONE. He must have really pulled very hard for Pena to replace Kotch, cause stubborn, never wrong Joe has him in the # 2 slot every game as if its a "good thing" and hes really NOT hitting 200. We all know he PROMOTES some players- for ex=SheildSY, J. P... I would not be surprised to see Matt Joyce... GONE... also either before season end or after. Matt is CERTAINLY NOT one of Joey's boys
