The Jays have had fielding and "intelligence" issues since Cito was the manager. It seems unfair to put the problems of this team on Gibbons when the issues were here long before he was and are the type of things that guys should just do on their own without the manager telling you.
Same thing with Pete Walker, not sure what else he can do with the pitchers that he has.
I understand the desire for a scapegoat and AA can't deal all the guys on the team but Gibbons and Walker seem like small parts of the problem and the players and their attitudes are the big issues.
It doesn't help when team leader and supposed star Bautista is one of the worse offenders in terms of stupid decisions/low baseball IQ.
