| 25th April, 2008 - 11:56 am | Toronto Star - Jays' GM JP Ricciardi is trying to keep his manager off the hot seat.
"I really think John Gibbons is a scapegoat in a lot of cases, for a lot of this stuff," said Ricciardi. "We gotta hit. That's it. Major-league managers don't walk up and down lineups and motivate guys to hit. If that was the case, Jim Leyland would have the Tigers at 13-8 instead of 8-13."
"If we don't hit, then we didn't have the team we thought we had. That's the bottom line. We can't continue to compete in this league, in this division, with this type of offence, and if this offence doesn't perform any better, then we were wrong on all the guys offensively, and that blame falls on my shoulders, not John Gibbons."
