Dbacks fire Byrnes & Hinch

Josh Byrnes and A.J. Hinch fired by the Diamondbacks!  It's about time as far as I'm concerned, especially regarding Byrnes, the so-called baseball wunderkind hasn't impressed me at all.  The team is 31-48 and in last place at the time of the firings, they've got no bullpen, their young talent hasn't panned out, offensively they strike out way too much, top talent in the minors is nowhere to be seen, what has Byrnes been doing in his 4.5 years at the helm?  A.J. Hinch had no business being a major league manager, he may be a good baseball guy but he had never managed anywhere in his life, he finished his Dbacks career with a 89-123 record.  Good riddance to both of them.  For the record, I really like the hiring of Kirk Gibson as interim manager, I'm hoping he is given a legitimate chance at the full time job.
