John Franco pulled no punches while blaming the players for Willie’s demise. Franco was a guest today on XM’s The Show with Kevin Kennedy and Rob Dibble.

“To be honest, I really think there is only a handful of players on the Mets who really give a damn about Willie Randolph getting fired and the others are just there to collect a paycheck and that’s just my opinion from the outside looking in, but each guy in that locker room should be held accountable and feel accountable for their poor play on the field that led to Willie Randolph being fired and the coaches getting fired because the players didn’t do their job and with the talent they have, it’s inexcusable for them to be playing the way they’ve played.”
