Rebuilding: The Astros: Manager Phil Garner and GM Tim Purpura Canned…

by Anthony Amobi

Rebuilding.

No sports fan likes to hear that word; however, that’s what looks like is going on Houston. This time, the movement started at the top.

After going to the World Series in 2005, the Astros disposed of both their manager and GM. According to the AP, Manager Phil Garner and general manager Tim Purpura were fired by owner Drayton McLane, who said the franchise “needed a fresh start” after a plunge to the bottom of the NL Central just a while ago.
