Im really hoping for one of the up and comers, get a young manager who can grow with the team. The Sox should be looking for their version of Brandon Hyde.

They have over 20 managerial candidates lined up to be interviewed so I'm sure there's more than a few who are on that list.  I would love to see Sal Fasano get an interview.  One of the nicest and smartest baseball guys I've ever talked to.

Former catcher is always a plus in my book for no good reason. He's 53 years old so a few years as manager and enjoy his retirement.

Rodney Linares is a name that fits somewhere in between up-and-comer and coaching staff lifer that I like. Son of a former player and coach that started out with the Astro’s as an instructor at the age of 21. 
 

Has been with 2 stellar organizations in the Astros and Rays in a variety of ways from Minor league Manager, 3rd base coach, and bench coach. Also managed the DR in the WBC.

Let me get this straight. Back in the day, JR's supposed reservation against Hinch sas the trashcan scandal.

Now the architect of the whole thing is a candidate?

I quit expecting consistency and common sense about the time we quit interviewing for high level jobs.

Or that was the built-in excuse because it was always gonna be Tony?

You will get Grady Sizemore and be happy about it!

If Getz stays in the role of GM, I want him to make the selection without Tony & Jerry butting in.

Buck Showalter or Terry Francona are older and have health issues but if they could come in and be a bridge to a guy like Grady Sizemore or Santos/Leyland I would be onboard.

Grady has a lot of potential he just needs experience.

Pay Francona what he wants and hopefully he hands it off to Sizemore or Santos.

I bet JR didn’t really care about the scandal. He was hell bent on hiring his old buddy to reap the benefits of Rick Renteria’s hard work. Rick worked through the rebuild and got the boys ready for the playoffs so he should have been allowed to finish the job. TLR wouldn’t manage a rebuilding team.
