Assuming Sciossia doesn't come back....

[SpunnOne 7]

Who would you like to see as the new manager? You guys seem to know more about who's out there, so I'd be interested in your take.....

Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I couldn't find any threads addressing it

Who do you don’t want as manager ?

Girardi

[Stradling 27,005]

It will be Josh Paul or someone else from the Yankees.  I don’t want to say the name because I’d rather the person who told me post it.

Angels broadcasters who become managers are never successful.

You're so F'n predictable. 

Girardi is Sosh's son.

We don't want more of the same.

He’s been extra TD lately.

Giradi is supposedly a robo manager -- reads book, book says make a move, Robo manager makes the move.   Also, the players hate him..  At least thats the story.

Jeff Trout and you know why.

Sciossia definitely won't be the manager but Scioscia might.

I think Mike Scioscia would be a strong replacement. Poor recent track record but he's laid back and the players like him.

Who knows. Theres some managers who have been around forever and always seem to have a job. But recently it seems like its always some out of nowhere guy. Like Alex Cora. Never seems to be some well known player from the past.

 

[disarcina 1,187]

Brad Ausmus odds on favorite, I'd say.

I'd be OK with that choice.

It would be great IMO if they also consider Mike Matheney

Don't think we could pry Bud Black from Colorado -- but would try.

How about a college head coach?  There's a guy full of girt and hustle coaching at the University of Nebraska if the Halos want to punt on their choice.

Yeah, Joe Torre never amounted to much as a manager.

I think a lot of AW posters are too young to know Torre was in the Angels’ booth.

It wasnt for very long. One season? Maybe two? I think it was one.

I thought he was good. Funny, he seemed to know a lot about baseball.

[disarcina 1,187]

I liked Torre in the Halos booth - it was about two seasons.

He was teamed with Phyz/ Hud.

His 'successor' was Sparky Anderson  who I think spent one year in the Halos booth.

Both were color commentators not pbp guys.  Torre's stories were pretty good.  Sparky? Well, he was sort of an updated version of when Dizzy Dean went into the booth "and Mantle slud into second" " who woulda thunk it/"

Well-played.
