Murray
Eddie Murray was fired Saturday night due to the Indians offensive woes.
The former tribe hitting coach was essentially the fall guy for the Indians' struggles, despite the fact that Murray:
-Wasn't the one who let Matt Lawton and Omar Vizquel go.
-Wasn't the one who signed Casey Blake to a ridiculous contract.
-Wasn't the one who didn't have a backup plan if Aaron Boone wasn't ready.
-Wasn't the one who kept playing Blake and Boone and Victor Martinez.
-Wasn't the one who continues to wear ridiculous, bad luck inducing hair under his nose.
-Wasn't the one who made out the lineup.
You knew it was coming. But then, Eddie's not the one with the contract through 2012.

I'd watch sticking Victor Martinez in there with Blake and Boone. Blake and Boone are both veteran stopgaps. I consider them throwaway players if they aren't producing. Martinez is still a young core guy and deserves at bats, if maybe down in the lineup. Besides, until Ryan Garko is ready, Josh Bard is your only other option at catcher.
