Papa Jack, Wallace fired

So the Purge begins. Wallace gets fired, no surprise, and so does Papa Jack. My general sense is that Wallace was never a good coach for young’uns, and with Papelbon, Lester (when he comes back), Delcarmen etc. coming up that did not bode well for his position. Perhaps it’s telling that in the end Wallace “received expressions of support from Schilling, Mike Timlin, Tim Wakefield, and Jason Varitek” - all veterans long in the tooth.
