    Walker Steps Down

    He officially informed the team today. All things considered, that's good news.

    I agree. He might've taken full responsibility, allowing Fletcher to stay on as assistant to whomever (Chipper!) they bring in. If so, good on him.

    Walker resigns

    Probably knew the axe was coming tomorrow anyway so he chooses to resign instead.

    Yea, there is no mention of Fletcher in the article. Is it assumed he's gone too?

    Maybe Fredi would have stepped down too. If not give some asinine vote of confidence from front office personnel.
