Thanks. I just quickly checked Baseball Ref.

The combined for -.5 WAR.

I don't know, you'd still have a very flawed roster.

Yeah, I don't blame them for wanting to grab someone from the Rays staff.

I am a fan of former catchers as managers so he does have that going for him (at least for me haha).

I could see why people would be underwhelmed but no reason to really hate it....yet.

It's not TLR, it's not Ozzie, it's not a former player who is not actively coaching (AJ, Thome, Getz, Paulie, etc). Solid.

There’s still enough “good” (I think?) candidates out there to not f*** this up.

Exactly. Depending on who they ultimately go with, it could be that.

Is this who you hinted at the other day?

I’m waiting for an official hire before losing my s%*#. Don’t think it will be him but wouldn’t surprise me at all if it is.

Wasn’t it reported he interviewed?

Just what they need, another 1B. Edit: only way that makes sense is if they let Abreu walk AND trade Vaughn for a position of need.

Just like the TLR move.

To be fair, I don’t think anyone does besides a couple people. Thinking he could be hired as manager =/= actually wanting him.

Do you think he’d be worse than tony? I feel like I would take him in a heart beat over Tony and I don’t even want him lol that’s just how low the bar was set by the Tony hire.

Jerry: “Hold Tony’s beer.”

Exactly

Let him join in a coaching role.

I would 100% count dinner with Jerry as the first. Dinner with Jerry is worse than an interview with anyone else in the front office.

? ?

Hopefully

Maybe they don't like him as much as we all don't.

For weeks? I remember a post from Jimmy the night or two before it was announced that seemed to confirm it.

Sox usually don't so I sort of expect him on the roster day 1. If that is the case, then it was dumb not to call him up this August. Don't mind if they do wait the couple weeks considering it's like what, 15 games? Still annoyed they didn't just keep Vaughn down considering he played like 5-6 games in those few weeks needed anyway.
