Predict who the next Angels' manager will be...

[Second Base]

I think it will be Maddon, but I also think we will see a shake up as far as the coaching staff goes. They'll retain Josh Paul as the bench coach, but Chavez will replace Gallego as the 3B coach, Gallego moves back into a front office role, Doug White will be fired as pitching coach and replaced with Ray Searage from the Pirates. 

So....

Manager: Joe Maddon

Bench Coach: Josh Paul

3B coach: Eric Chavez

1B coach: Jesus Feliciano

Pitching Coach: Ray Searage

Catching Coach: Jose Molina

Bullpen Coach: Andrew Bailey

[Taylor]

DeNiro?

Maddon is going to want a five year deal. Do we really want to hire the oldest manager in baseball ️ He’ll be 66 years old in February and he won’t come cheap.

I prefer a much younger manager. I’d prefer Girardi over Maddon as a example. 

 

Age discrimination at its finest.  As for Girardi, he will be a senior citizen next year, i.e. eligible for a free Denny's meal on his birthday.

I voted for Scioscia, just for fun.

Jeff, you're our voice of reason, you can't be jerking us around like this.

Some of these names would be awesome...just to see everyone's heads explode...can you imagine...Dusty Baker...Buck Showalter...the only thing that would be better was if Scioscia or Terry Collins returned.

after what happened with Skaggs, I'm sure Arte would love to have Washington at the helm

If Washington's the choice there will be a white smoke signal rising from the Big A. 

No, seriously, it will literally be him puffing away on a Kool.

[Puget Sound Angel]

Yes I want Maddon but is Arte gonna spring for the $5 million+ needed to sign him?

It seems like clubs don't want to spend big money on managers any more what with the Analytics guys now running the show.

Must be why Girardi and Showalter have still not gotten jobs.

[Pancake Bear]

The only two on this poll it even could be are Maddon and Girardi. I think Girardi is angling for Chicago, personally.

Per the Vegas oddsmakers list, it won’t be Washington for obvious reasons. I’d be shocked if it was Matheny or Guillen, although slight chance of both for various reasons. Most of the other “experienced” candidates are possible, but none are particularly inspiring choices.

why do people love Chavez so much?

Because he has a unique ability to connect with the players given the many months he spent on the DL during his career.

This guy...

I didn’t know where to pose this question. And didn’t want to actually create a new thread. But some friends and I were talking tonight while watching the Dodgers game. What if the Dodgers don’t win the series again or don’t even make it their. Do we think Roberts will be back and if he’s not do you think Maddon would be on the Dodgers list of names to call. If you were Maddon would you wait till the playoffs were over to sign a managerial contract?

[Tank]

If Ozzie Guillen is seriously being considered,I think that’d be a sign that Arte has officially lost all of his marbles.

I could see Girardi to the Cubs

Would be a reunion, since he caught for them.

Sosh is better than all those clowns. Might even be better than Maddon, too.

[Broad Street]

Madden with Sosh as his bench coach

[T.G.]

If not Maddon... Plan B

New Manager and Bench Coach...

 

 

And you thought Maddon was entertaining...

Its been a few days since Maddon’s interview ... I thought this was a slam dunk
