Has LaRussa ever fired a coached mid-season? 2001? I think it's highly unlikely that McGwire will be fired but if LaRussa leaves after this season, I don't see McGwire coming back.
And we don't know how much knowledge he does or doesn't have. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem if they named Aldrete the hitting coach.
