Next Skipper

[Soxfan1]

I'd have to take Brenly because he beat the yanks in 2001 and he was curt Schilling old manager.

[element1151]

Yea, Brenly out of these guys.

[Chrupzilla]

I don't think they'll fire Francona. It would make them look bad. They just hired the guy.

[RedSoxRooter]

They won't fire him unless he refuses to practice what the brass preaches.

[sarasoxfan]

granted we have won three in a row, but no matter what happens the rest of the year, I think this guy is among the worst managers I have ev er seen. I have always said he seems like a nice guy. He would be a great guy to have as an uncle or a neighbor, but he is wimp in the dugout.

 

I dont think he handles the pitching staff very well. He rarely takes out whe it is painfully obvious he should.

 

His staff seems really why over thier heads. How many guys can we get thrown at home.

 

The line-up juggling seems senseless at times, and stupid at other times.

 

Whe a player gets hot that seems a sure fire way to find a seat on the bench.

 

Basically, I agree they probably wont fire him, though I think might in the offseason.

 

What most troubling is I dont think he commands respect in the clubhouse.

 

he's a bonafide stiff.

 

If it were up to me he would long gone already.

I think it's pretty obvious Francona isn't my favorite manager...but I'm not sure any of these guys would be much better.

 

Brenly won a world series with a very talented Dback team. Who is to say that was Brenly's managing?

 

Jimy Williams has already failed in Boston

 

Carlos Tosca is like Francona. No record of success.

 

I voted for 'other'

[CrespoBlows]

None, the manager doesn't matter, the players do. Tosca is a fine manager, but not a Red Sox manager. If any I would get a world series winning manager, like Tosca. I'd give him one more year before the boot.

[Zenny]

My God, those three managers make me want to vomit.

[Soxfan1]

What manager do u mean by other?

[empirestrikesback26]

you should try and get lou pinnela, he'll be tired of TB soon.

[schillingouttheks]

im pretty sure i have mentioned him as a future manager before

[YanksHater213]

to be honest with you i think that a better idea would be to get a new 3rd base coach first...

I don't see Lou leaving Tampa anytime soon, his team will rise in the next couple of years, when the Yanks fall.

Truer words have never been spoken. Sveum is the devil.

[YanksHater213]

i mean, its one thing to tell someone to go once and a while and they get thrown out. but 2 in one inning is just ridiculous

[Soxfan1]

Who did u guys pick for other?

[texsox]

Jerry Manuel

[empirestrikesback26]

Yea He did very well with the white sox.

[Sizzlin22]

I personally would like to see Bud Black I wanted him over Francona anyays but I personnally dont think Tito is going anywhere.
