Possible Torre successor

[Guy_Incognito]

I'm not terribly excited by any of the options. I want no part of LaRussa. Mattingly might make a wonderful manager, but we have absolutely no reason to think so, or that he would be a bad one - there is zero evidence so it's basically a crap shoot. Valentine is not a serious candidate. I think I'd most prefer Pena as trial period & let Mattingly get some more experience / get some indicator of what he can do, but if I were actually making the call, I'd get some input from people I trusted who saw him manage daily in KC. I guess I can live with Girardi, but I'm not that confident about it.

If Don doesn't get the job. I wouldn't be surprised if Willie Randolph inquired about the position through a third party.

Bob Lemon.

Bobby Valentine because it'd be so much fun to watch.

It would . . . but the (oh, so brief) LaRussa show would be beyond belief, especially with a collapsing team.

He thinks the ST. LOUIS writers are tough?

Welcome to the real world, egomaniac player-protector.

I'd rather see La Russa stay in St. Louis.

Yeah, ever hear the stories where the WOR stats guy would do Yogi's lineup for him?

Yogi is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Had he been black, one can only imagine the names he would've been called.
