O's Don't Fire Juan Samuel, Do Fire Bench Coach

In a questionable move by Andy McPhail, the Orioles announced that they have fired bench coach Dave Jauss. Now what makes it questionable is the fact that the Orioles held on to Juan Samuel.

If I had a dime for every time Samuel held someone when he should of sent someone or the other way around, I'd have $30.

Just look through the Camden Chat gamethreads through this season, I'd estimate one in every five threads has something negative to say about Juan.

There are plenty of great third base coaches in the MLB and Samuel just isn't one of them.
