Tito’s successor

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
My preferences for the new manager:
  • That he is less than 60 years old.
  • That he can have a conversation about analytics, but not have his thinking dominated by them.
  • That he has experience as either a bench coach, or MLB or MiLB manager.
  • That he is bi-lingual.
(I used to think that last one was very important until I saw Manny Acta.)
 
Alby used to spend time at my crib when I lived in Durham and he was toward the end of his career as a player.

Great dude. Loves a domestic draft.


Had some good times.

Pretty clear that thiose six years of Eric Wedge have the Guardians only considering bald managers.

Feel like this might be limiting our options
 
How about this:
Manager: Gave Kapler
Bench coach: Will Venable
1st base: Sandy Alomar
3rd base: Jason Kipnis
 
How about this:
Manager: Gave Kapler
Bench coach: Will Venable
1st base coach: Sandy Alomar
3rd base coach: Mike Sarbaugh
2nd base coach: Jason Kipnis

Or we do...

Manager: Sarby
Bench Coach: Hale
1st Base Coach: Sandy
3rd Base Coach: Kipnis.

Lol

Not much of a change!

Or maybe

Manager: Sarby
Bench Coach: Napoli
1st Base Coach: Sandy
3rd Base Coach: Kipnis

I like number 2! Lol
 
Per MLBTR

The Guardians will interview Giants bullpen/catching coach Craig Albernaz about their upcoming managerial vacancy, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Terry Francona may officially announce his retirement as Cleveland’s skipper as early as tonight, so the Guardians are already lining up what is expected to be a long list of possible replacements.

I don't think an Arabic and Russian speaker would improve the team but, ok
 
Really hoping they go with Gary Sheffield
