Midseason, you want to make a coaching change - who would you bring in now to right the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that if you do get rid of La Russa mid-season, you're going to have a hard time getting the manager you really want. The next guy up will most likely be Cairo. The choices really are between shit and a shit sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season really is on the brink, go for the big gamble (Ozzie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I’m more interested in salvaging the season and would be fine with McEwing or Cairo as interim. Worry about a new hire in November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The problem with Ozzie is if he does get it turned around then you’re probably stuck with him next year and beyond. Other than Ozzie and his kids nobody wants that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 How about Steve Stone? Maybe if they put him in the dugout, they'll stop with that cursed Nationwide Jingle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A competent org should be able to axe that miserable jingle and find a quality major league manager in his or her prime. Emphasis on competent though.

ron883 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 What about Benetti? Honestly, he knows his stuff. He's a smart dude. I'd trust him with tactical moves. He'd be my choice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
