The Beast Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 A few questions arise when I think about the firing of Jerry Manuel. #1.) Will he just go or will all the coaching staff go? That is key...It depends mainly on KW. #2.) If coaches are not brought back, would they be sent to a minor league team within our organizations? #3.) Do you see any of the players of Jerry Manuel's loyalists leave because of this change? #4.) What is likely to be his replacement in your opinion? My list of canidates: Tom Kelly Frank Robinson Tony Larussa Wally Backman Jim Leyland Ozzie Smith Carlton Fisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHeat45 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 I want Santos to coach the team but even if he retires this year he will want to take at least one year off. But maybe we will sign whoever the new manager is for 2-3 years, sandy will play one more season, then have 1-2 seasons of rest then he could manage the team. It is obvious that he will be a good manager some day.......lets hope its with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My list of canidates: Tom Kelly Frank Robinson Tony Larussa Wally Backman Jim Leyland Ozzie Smith Carlton Fisk None of those. Buddy Bell or Cito will get the job.

I didn't say Bell would make a difference, you asked who is the most likely to be named. Cito Gastion, he was the manager of the Blue Jays in the 90's when they won the World Series.

The Beast Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 we do? I like calling him Santos instead. But that is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I would love Frank Robinson now that you mention his name. Please no buddy bell. Geez, why do we want him? Santos would be fine. I'd love Fisk! But doesn't JR hate him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I'd love Fisk! But doesn't JR hate him? JR doesn't hate him. Fisk doesn't like the way he was unceremoniously released the day after he set the all-time games caught mark..... among other things.

CubKilla Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Wasn't he also not allowed in the lockerroom during the 1993 ALCS You are correct. I could have spelled out all of the incidents off the top of my head where JR f***ed Pudge, but I didn't feel like it. Critic is correct also. Anyone remember Fisk in LF? Jesus..... that was one of the dumbest ideas..... EVER!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Maybe we can lure Frank Robinson over from Montreal? I realize the Expos haven't won a whole heck of a lot the last two years... but considering the future that team had at the time, this man did a hell of a job with nothing. If he can fire up a bunch of players afraid of not having a team next year, think of what he could do with a team full of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I would luv Frank Robinson to be our manager in 2004. Dunno if he'd leave the Expos though but with Vladimir leaving for greener pastures he might think it's a no win situation ova there and want to leave. But if we can't get him, hire Backman.
