What, no Bobby Valentine??

What, no Bobby Valentine??

 

Apparently most teams have given up on winning those 1999 division titles, which was the last time Valentine was relevant as a manager...

Not sure who you're referring to.

It's funny how managers just keep getting recycled to other teams.

 

One man's garbage is another man's gold, I guess.

Same with players.

 

Sometimes a change of scenery is good for everyone.

Dave Roberts to keep his job

[Fan_since_Boggs]

What about our old friend John Farrell -- any chance he gets one of these jobs? He does have a championship on his resume.

 

As far as Girardi goes, I have my doubts about Theo hiring him, and the Mets always do something weird. I'm going to take a guess and say Girardi ends up with the Phillies. I'll also predict that J.Maddon is hired by the Angels.
