Your Next Angels Manager Is...

[AZMike]

Bobby Valentine is looking for a job.

 

 

Bobby Valentine leads to contracts being absorbed by the Dodgers. I like your thinking

[Angelsjunky]

Gene Mauch.

[Turd Ferguson]

Phil Jackson.

Gene Mauch.

September 22, 1963:

Joe Morgan, just barely passed his 20th birthday, gets his first big league hit, a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth for a 2-1 Houston win over the Phillies. Enraged, Philadelphia manager Gene Mauch goes to the post-game buffet and tosses it to the floor, handful by handful.

How did you come across this so quickly? It was just created today.

this.

imo its what eventually will happen.

I would hire Clint Hurdle.  He understands the hitting side, good all around experience and effectiveness with less than stellar lineups.  His contract with Pittsburgh runs through this season.

 

If I am Moreno: I'd ride out this season and let MS go if this team doesn't make the playoffs.  Period.  I would then hire Hurdle to maximize what should be a very deadly offensive lineup while my GM reloads the pitching.

 

For those who mentioned Servais...  He is very talented, and will probably end up getting a GM job at some point.  His current effort of restocking our minor league system is too important, I would not look at him for the coaching side.

Terry Collins

I love the Ersty idea. La Russa would be awesome as well.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Lou Brown. It worked for the Cleveland Indians. Wonder what Pedro Cerrano and Rick Vaughn are doing these days.

If only San Diego would fire Bud Black

Their record is Angels-esque so there's a chance

[Cool_Herc]

Not a former Angel, but anyone think Tony Gwynn might potentially be interested or a candidate?

[bdavis621]

Erstad is my choice.

[Taylor]

Jose Mota

[rageous]

I like Chili Davis.

He has done a great job as a hitting coach for the A's.

Butcher also needs to go.

Tony has had three surgeries for salivary gland cancer.  He was quoted as saying one of the toughest things in his recovery was not being able to smile or be himself.  That would probably work here, there is nothing to smile about with the Angels right now.  However, he is way too heavy, and doesn't meet the requirements set down by mp170.6.

Tim Salmon for bench coach

[Lhalo]

 

I played for Jack back in 1908 on the Salt Lick Side Winders! Tough as nails, great guy and has his Cigars shipped in from Havana hand rolled on a virgins thigh.

This made my day.

[HaloCory22]

Torii Hunter might be an interesting choice once he retires.

[Angel Oracle]

Amazing that McKeon won a WS title as Fish manager at age 72 in 2003.

Maybe LaRussa (age 68) has a few years to give after all?

[sneaky_flute]

has tim salmon ever expressed interest in taking a role in the angels organization?

[bdavis621]

Yes once his kids got older. Wish they would hurry up!!
