Around SBN: Stan Van Gundy Fired As Head Coach Of The Magic

Royals catcher Miguel Olivo is said to have patched up his differences with his manager Trey Hillman. But Olivo's rep as someone who can't along with his manager lives on. Joe Girardi is one who is said not to have especially enjoyed managing Olivo when the two were in Florida.

Yes

But you can’t count on him to do anything except stare at you if you get shot in the eye with a pellet.

Another great bit of Heyman from the same article
Great move by the D’backs to add David Eckstein. He may not be doing anything now. But October is really his time, anyway.

He is awesome

He intentionally plays like crap all year, then begins trying hard in October! Gotta love that grit!

Really? Huh, didn't know either way.

I know he made some questionable decisions, but thought he did a pretty good job, whatever that means for a manager.

Ownership didn't like him

I didn’t get the impression any players didn’t like him though, except maybe Scott Olsen who is a dick in general.

Well, if Jeffrey Loria doesn't like a guy, that should really tell us something

He won manager of the year

and was fired after the season was over. Clearly, he has some personality issues.
