hogan873 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) So you guys get your wish. I won't bury him. I hope he succeeds. Stop with the generalization. We already got our wish when Ozzie quit. As far as a new manager, it seems like most posters like the idea of Martinez or Alomar or Francona. The article definitely makes it sound like Martinez will be the guy, and you're not going to hear many complaints if that happens. But I don't think you'd hear too many complaints if it ended up being Alomar either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the top managerial prospects in the game if not #1. Given the direction of the team, hiring a first-time manager probably makes the most sense. What is your problem with Martinez? Does he not make enough funnies for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm still in the minority and think Alomar is the right guy for the job. Steve Phillips had an interesting take (yes...that steve phillips so take it with a grain of salt)...but I somewhat agree with him.
