Yankees managerial search

[jacksonianmarch]

Joe Girardi is out as manager of the Yankees.

[bkzwhitestrican]

Watch us hire Farrell......

[jacksonianmarch]

f*** no

[OH FOY]

I think this is a mistake, by the Yanks.

[NativeBostonian]

Please, God do! lmao

[Slasher9]

HAHAHAHA. EFF GIRARDI.

is billy martin available?

[jacksonianmarch]

I think this is a mistake, by the Yanks.

 

I concur. I wanted him gone in a fit of rage after Game 2 of the ALDS, but they rallied for him and it shows the team responded for their manager. Teams rarely respond like that.

It's very similar to the Sox firing Farrell. We'll never know all the real reasons for the moves - only Dombrowski and Cashman know.

I am not surprised that he is gone. You are a Yankee fan living in Red Sox country. I am the opposite, and the atmosphere around Girardi has been bad for a while. The fans have despised him for a long time. He didn't have a lot of support from his players either. Couple that with him being a terrible game tactician and a douche, he was past his expiration date. Yankee fans are rejoicing today, and that makes me unhappy. I hope they hire Farrell.

[Station 13]

AJ Burnett needs to be reach for comments.

[Carpin]

Exactly my feelings, always supported him with the exception of the infamous game 2

[Spudboy]

I tend to agree.

 

Why upset the apple cart?

 

I figure there was some kind of bad blood between Giradi and management and that management has another guy identified to plug in.

Hmm. Interesting input.

They will be losing nothing by replacing him. People thought the same thing when they fired Showalter. Girardi is not a very good manager. He goes into the same basket of mediocrity of at least 25 other managers.

[BudLight]

People tend to forget that baseball organizations train and groom staff personnel as much as they do players. I'm certain they already have someone in mind within the organization now or previously in the organization they want to bring back. Girardi did a nice job over his 10 years at the helm. Time to pass the torch. The Yankees need a manager who can work with and understand their crop of young players that are now with the team and those in the minors who will be joining the 40 man roster over the next several years. Best of luck Joe and thanks for your 10 years of service.

Watch us hire Farrell......

 

I'm hoping you hire Dusty Baker.

[jacksonianmarch]

We might hire from within. ESPN reminded me of one fatal flaw. For a manager who preaches accountability to not take responsibility immediately after game 2, that was the deathknell

[Carpin]

My candidates are

 

1. Al Pedrique

2. Jay Bell

[Northern Star]

f*** no

 

mwahahahahahahahahaha

[Northern Star]

I'm hoping you hire Dusty Baker.

 

I know it's the Yankees, but let's show just a little mercy...

[jacksonianmarch]

Joe was reluctant to give the kids PT in 2016 until it was foisted on him. He is old school and would rather give PT to the veterans. This is a clear change in direction. They will hire someone with recent minor league experience. I’d say Jay Bell (the manager of the AFL Yankee team) is the front runner with Tony Franklin (AAA SWB manager) a close 2nd

[SoxnCycles]

I'm hoping you hire Dusty Baker.

 

LOL

Nice!

[bkzwhitestrican]

I'd like to see A-Rod manage just because it would make him the most interesting (and douchey) manager in baseball. I could see him doing really well or completely s***ing the bed.

[Dojji]

Do yourselves a favor and interview DeMarlo Hale. If you're looking for new blood in the managerial game, Hale has to be one of the most experienced guys out there who's never managed, and he's lived in the AL East for most of his career. If there's a non-yankee coach out there who's intimitately familiar with who the Yankees are as an organization, it's Hale.

 

I have no problem with Cora, I understand and endorse him as a good managerial candidate, but Hale is the guy I was hoping the Red Sox would hire because he's just that much more experienced as a coach. I just want to see the guy move up and see what he does with the job. He's got the seniority and the experience, I think he deserves a good look as a manager.

Me too, but I'd like him to be the bench coach first and the jump to the big job. I believe he will be a fine manager.

Vegas released the odds for the job and Thomson is leading

 

Don't know where they are getting their info but they have Joe Espada in the top three ---- WTF????

 

Rob Thomson: +500

Al Pedrique: +550

Joe Espada: +600

Tony Pena: +750

Kevin Long: +800

Trey Hillman: +850

Willie Randolph: +1000

Pete Mackanin: +1000

Larry Rothschild: +1000

Raul Ibanez: +1100

[Thunder]

This is a VERY desirable job. Not only is it New York, but the young base this team has means that you could be as idiotic as Farrell and still be a WS contender every year for the next 5-10 years.

[Northern Star]

What's the knock on Randolph? He turned a 91 loss Mets team around in short fashion, but they slumped badly in his third season. Googling gives me Keith Hernandez insinuating that Latin players didn't like him for some reason. Whether that's true or not, there must be something against him because it took him years to get a managing gig and no one's given him a second opportunity for almost ten years now.

[Kimmi]

Cashman is looking for someone more analytically minded. He is a smart man.
