What if Scioscia....

[totdprods]

Was picked to be next commissioner of baseball?

I am in no way endorsing the idea or believe it is even feasible, just thought it'd make for a good thread and offer up a shot at some good jokes.

Read on MLBTR that internal candidates were being interviewed, and that made me wonder who that would possibly be, and when I thought about folks like LaRussa and Torre I thought of Sosh and chuckled and saw it as a good thread idea haha.

nope

[mtangelsfan]

nope

 

Better than another bitch thread. 

 

I think he would be a decent commissioner.  I just don't think it will end up being a player or manager type.  The owners pick these guys and usually they pick suits.

And that was really more of the intent of the thread, just some chatting about who the next commission could be, what he may do, what you'd do, what you'd like to see...

Scioscia as commissioner would be extremely unrealistic but hey, lasagna/veterans/nicknames!

I think AJ Pierzynski would make a great commissioner.

[Stradling]

He is well respected in the league but I highly doubt we will see a player become commissioner. I think it will be either another owner of some business man with a good marketing background.

Exactly. Scioscia does not have any background in the business end of baseball that has become far more complex than in the Ford Frick years. It will require someone that can work on a bigger picture scale than simply making sure the season starts and ends on time.

Donald Sterling should be the new commissioner. He's great at working with people.

[Taylor]

Aybar 4 Commish!

i see someone forgot to put the cap back on the liquid paper bottle.

[Tank]

boy, if you thought bud selling's press conferences were a bore, just imagine what sosh's would be like.

 

 

might be time to dust off my resume and see what's what.

No chance you become commish, Tank.

 

You're overqualified.

What do you mean by 'people'

[YouthofToday]

Is Sandy Alderson still one of the most likely candidates?

I highly, highly doubt it is Torre, LaRussa or any manager.

Is Manfred still the frontrunner? I believe he is whom Bud has been pushing to be up next.

This has nothing to do with my dislike for Scioscia but I think he would be an awful commissioner.  He is a classic stuck in his ways old school type.  We would never get anywhere with replay, etc.

 

On top of that I doubt he has any interest at all in being the owner's puppet, which is what the commish is.

Let him stay with the Clippers and draw that out.

Then the Lakers could swoop in and take Doc Rivers off their hands.

[AngelsLakersFan]

They need to pick someone a little younger than they did last time...

Not only that but I don't think he has a college degree....he signed out of high school and I don't think has gone back and gotten a degree....Should that matter?  Absolutely not, Bill Gates dropped out of college, but would a major sport, in this day and age, hire a Commissioner who doesn't have a college degree?  Probably not....

Mickey hatcher would be treasurer

Mike butcher would be team building coach

[NJHalo]

Tony Reagins is the type to be the lap dog for the owners.
