You have more of a fetish for this guy than Trump does for Obama.

Poppycock. Scioscia probably weighs about 400 lbs by now. 

[zenmaster]

Scioscia as GM, Ausmus as Manager.

[failos]

Yeah so he can give away all our secrets to thee Asstros

nah, hire Jerry Dipoto as GM and then bring Sosh as manager just to fuck with him

[FabulousFabregas]

Red Sox now too. Sosh can start a bidding war.

What's with the Fernando Rodney effect on the cap?

All our secrets were exposed last season.

I'm fine is Sosh leads the Astros.    He's not the most energetic 61 y.o.and he's emotionally uptight.   I don't see the Astros players responding well to that.

[Angelsfan1984]

I'd be stoked, Verlander and Grenkie would get pulled in the 6th after giving up no hits in 68 pitches to bring in a reliever who walks 8 consecutive batters and gives up a grand slam, but doesn't pull him because he trusts his guys.

Would be fun to watch.

Yeah but that was with Ausmus--whose cut from a different cloth than Sosh and Maddon.

He prefers to play for a winner or a loser. So Boston doesn't seem like a logical fit since they are just douche bags

I could see MS with Boston or the Mets before he'd go to Houston.

I think it's a good sign for every other team in the AL West that Houston seems intent on hiring the manager before they hire the GM.  Seems like such an ass-backward way of doing things.  Maybe the plan is to promote an assistant GM who's currently running things but it wouldn't surprise me if Crane and his son take control of every single facet of the org.  Hopefully It will be like Angelos running the Orioles into the ground for all those years and it will be glorious.

I’m probably alone in this, but I actually think he’d be a great manager for their roster.

When I think sabermetrics, Buck Showalter is one of the first people to come to mind.

I think Sosh would be a good hire for any of those teams. He’s experienced and wouldn’t  need a lot of time to get organized. He’s not going to spend a lot of time going over the respective controversies the teams faced. He’ll keep everything focused on the games.

As noted above, Showalter already interviewed. John Gibbons is next. Bochy already turned HOU down.

[AngelStew43]

Mike Scioscia is still a great manager.  If the Astros or Red Sox want to get back to the World Series on their own merits, Mike Scioscia would be the perfect hire for one of those jobs.  

I can fill the other job, and maybe even provide references.

another idea

[AngelStew43]

I am VERY serious about Scioscia, though.

[Dick B Back]

I just don’t see him making that daily drive from Westlake Village to Houston.
