Seems like Klentak and Kapler are both smart guys and talented assistant general managers. They didn't have the people or leadership skills to run a front office (or manage up) or dugout. Meanwhile Klentak's former subordinate Fuld wound up with his job and will soon be president on the business side, while Kapler's former subordinate (who was kind of brought in as a veteran old school voice) has his job.

I wonder what would have happened if the Phillies hadn't hired Girardi (which guaranteed they'd keep Thomson).
