Joe Girardi Not Returning To Yankees

[floplag]

This has to be the strangest managerial off season i can recall where 3 of the teams with the best records canned them and some of the worst under achievers haven't.  

[Blarg]

Bob Melvin, with three 5th place finishes in a row for the A's, is still slated to manage the team next season.

I didn't really watch any Yankees games so I have no idea what his style is. Would he even fit based on the players the Angels have? The yanks definitely had more talent than the Angels I'm just curious as to how he managed his starters/bullpen.

[NJHalo]

Big mistake.

 

I hope he finds his way to Anaheim, but I don’t see it.

i didn't hear about any dehydration issues with his pitchers, so he must have been doing something right with them.

The connection is there with Eppler. I'm just not sure how he fits.

CC was so hydrated they had to send him to rehab.

How many games off did players get following a 4-4 game? That's my big question.

Whatever, this is the first time in a long time where Mike Scioscia actually should be worried about what he will be doing in a year...

Well actually this is the first year that Scioscia doesn’t have to worry about losing his job. Between the Dodgers and Angels he’s probably traveled a million plus air miles so he’s probably going to welcome spending more time at home. He’ll probably get a front office job from one of the two franchises that won’t require much travel.

I'll put the Over/Under on that at .5

Well lets put it this way..

I can't imagine the saber guys liking Girardi's style of play.

CBS Sports compiled a list of possible replacements for Girardi. Had to chuckle about this one:

Josh Paul: Paul, the former journeyman catcher, has been working in the Yankees' minor-league system as a coach and manager the past several years, and is said to be highly regarded by players and the front office. Making the jump from the lower levels -- most of Paul's coaching and managerial experience has come at the rookie ball and Class A level -- is rare, though we've seen teams hire managers with no experience before, so we shouldn't rule him out.

El último año de Scioscia. 

[CaliAngel]

This makes little to sense to me. I hate the Yankees but I'll be damned if Girardi isn't one of the most professional managers in the league that I've seen.

 

And he wins. What else could the Yankees want?

[Brian Ilten]

Dear God above,

Please allow Archie, or whoever is making the decisions in Anaheim, see the opportunity and kindly but quickly show El Catorce the door so Girardi can be brought here.

 

Amen.

[Jobu]

I don't think Girardi suddenly makes the Angels a good ball club, but it would be nice to have someone new to complain about.

You are correct.  El Catorce LEAVING suddenly makes the Angels a good ball club.

 

...just sayin'

Amen.

Won’t happen.

Was listening to the MLB radio network this AM, and discovered that Showalter's contract is up after 2018. I'd love to see him manage the Angels.

Arte is too cheap to eat a year of contract, for a manager. 

[ettin]

Maybe they will trade Scioscia to the Phillies for Cesar Hernandez? He is a position of depth, yes?

[JarsOfClay]

If Scioscia wasnt fired after 2012, he's not going to be fired now.  Arte Morono is  too stupid to figure it out.

compared to how much money he ate for the contracts of players like hamilton and matthews, i think i disagree with you.
