Which of the 16 World Champions are going to lead the clubhouse now that they no longer have 2 guys who joined them after winning the World Series and turned them into gutless chocking dogs? I have to imagine anybody irked by that article didn't read it past the headline, which was pretty innocuous itself. It wasn't the least bit sensationalist or Debbie downerish. He cited player and coaching changes, and then talked about guys' roles in the clubhouse. He didn't suggest nobody is capable of the job or insist it was a bad idea to get rid of prior leaders. He got a good quote from Hoyer about no longer bringing in vets like David Ross to bring established leaders from outside, and having others step into that role as a result of natural growth in their own career.
