Phillies Gm Ruben Amaro Jr’s contract may be up at the end of the 2015 season, but here at The Small Sports Blog we think he should be fired now instead of waiting until the end of the season. Here are The Small Sports Blog’s Top 10 reason he should be fired now.

Top 10 Reasons RAJ should be fired now:

10. Since becoming the GM he has turned the Phillies from contender for the World Series to a contender for the prestigious Small Sports Blog Toilet Bowl Award.

9. The trade with the Houston Astros for Hunter Pence.

8. Trading Hunter Pence to the S.F. Giants for nothing in return

7. The Cliff Lee trade to the Seattle Mariners

6. The contracts he gave Cliff Lee, Ryan Howard, and Cole Hamels that prevented him from being able to trade them.

5. Signing Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez to any sort of contract.

4. Named the worse GM in baseball by The Sporting News

 3. Throwing Ryan Howard under the bus.

2. The 2014 Roster

And the #1 reason the Phillies should fire GM Ruben Amaro Jr now…..

1. The 2015 Phillies ………Unfortunately they are not going to get any better with RAJ around.
