2nd worst team ERA = firing the best pitching coach in baseball
The Orioles posted a 5.65 ERA in 2006 - 29th out of 30 major league teams. This year, the club finished 29th again, this time with a 5.17 ERA. That mark was punctuated by a 6.89 ERA in September, the worst big league ERA for that month in the past 51 seasons.

Jim Palmer anyone? or maybe Flanny?

Flanagan bombed as co-GM...why not as pitching coach.

I'd be surprised if he's not back in Atlanta in no time

Either Atlanta or to the Yanks.

Really Leo did not have a lot to work with there in Baltimore...Atlanta gave him plenty of talented arms to develop and that is exactly what he did. Really the only guy that did well for the Os was Erik Bedard. They had some nice guys in AAA though but he really didn't get to develop them as much from what I could tell since their AAA club is 15 minutes from my house

With the exception of Smoltz, Braves pitching has sucked since Roger McDowell came to Atlanta. Bring back Rockin' LEO!

If I remember correctly, there was some bad blood with Leo leaving ATL. However, it looks like they want to bring the boys back in town for one more shot--sign Glavine, bring back Mazzone, move Roger to AAA.
With JS now gone from making the personel decisions, Wren may try to reach out to Andruw--JS wouldn't negotiate with Boras, but Wren will.

Everything still goes through JS since he's the team president.
