2014 Managerial Candidates

[Scott34]

Servais isn't a managerial type.  He is a scout through and through.

I hope this thread title isn't changed in a week or two to "2015 managerial candidates".

I posted a Cal Ripken Jr & Billy Ripken thread for manager awhile back.

I'll stick with it ... I love their radio show together.

Maddon hands down....

[Docwaukee]

Brett Butler

Steve Decker

 

are a couple other although I would love to pry Mike Maddux away from the Rangers.

Lane Kiffin.

I think Scioscia gets one more year. What that does is it gives Bogar another year managing in the minors to step up to the big club in 2015 if the team fails to make the playoffs again next year.

Exactly, that would scream out too much....Lefty Phillips.    He was not a good manager, and lost the clubhouse in 1971.

Just as long as we don't have a cardboard likeness of Arte Moreno and undress him

@Evan_P_Grant: Another interesting name to consider for #Rangers bench coach: Omar Vizquel.

I've been saying in this thread that Vizquel should get a job on the coaching staff. Angels need to hire him ASAP

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe the time has come to also replace Griffin, with Vizquel? 

Griffin has meant a lot over the years to the Halos, but after 14 years maybe it's time for a change?

Give Vizquel 2-3 seasons as 1B coach, and then groom him to be bench coach?

I'd go with the likes of Bogar and Hampton.  The issue is, these are Dipoto hires and they really haven't found a ton a favor within the organization given the current fissure that exists between the last regime and the Dipoto regime.  If either of them were hired you'd be talking about completing the overhaul Dipoto envisioned before he was handcuffed left and right.  Not saying it's the right choice or the wrong choice in this case, I'm just saying that hiring those guys would be the equivalent of putting your chips are the center of the table without a confident notion your hand is better than the one in Oakland or Texas. 

 

In fact, I think the only one both sides seem to really support is Omar Vizquel.  He's extremely even-keeled and makes intelligent decisions but is also very old-school oriented.  He's been grooming for a managerial job for years, even during his playing days.

My choice would be Joe Maddon. I know a lot of times teams will let coaches out of contracts with or without compensation to allow them to go to their dream job.

 

I doubt that Joe would touch this job. Huge payroll, gigantic expectations, aging and underachieving roster, little hope for meaningful change in personnel. In Tampa he and the GM are of like mind, they develop young players and turn baseball on its ear with a payroll a fraction of that of the teams they compete with in the playoffs. There is no pressure and no lofty expectations, which has to make winning all the more gratifying.

Fred Gwynn passed away several years ago, but he would be better than MS or Tony.
