In response to the Yankees third consecutive first round exit from the playoffs, everybody is asking who should take the heat. Is it the manager, the general manager, etc...
But, look at this in a different way. In the real world, in the jobs you and I work in every day, if we show up to work and fail to perform to our boss' expectations, we get fired. Shouldn't the players be held accountable? I know this would never happen because they are union and under MLBPA protection, and I know at times if a player underperforms he can be traded or cut, but looking at it in the simplest of ways, I think that if players knew their jobs were on the line with failed performances, they could get fired, these players would then always come to the ballpark and give 100% every day just like we do in our workplace.
I think the players are way to coddled these days, which means they don't seem to care whether they win or lose, regardless they will collect a pay check.
