Girardi surprised reds by pulling out Friday. He had a chance to
win job at that point but they never got to point of talking
money with him. He also pulled out of rangers derby. Industry
speculation: he’s waiting a year on Chicago

Girardi may be waiting for the Cubs job to open up, but I can't
imagine this front office wanting him. There have been rumors
that one of the reasons the Cubs may be willing to move on from
Maddon is that he just does whatever he wants. I'm sure Girardi
would expect that same freedom.
If someone else doesn't hire Brandon Hyde in the next week or
two, I would be pretty shocked if he's not the next Cubs
manager.

I think Hyde would be in contention, but there will be other
candidates. Ross if he gets into coaching and the same goes for
Derosa. Rocco Baldelli sounds like an interesting coach with the
Rays.

I agree Hyde would be the favorite, but I'll be surprised if
he's not snatched up in the next two weeks.
On Girardi, there are obvious culture fit issues there. But if
Theo decides he wants to do a complete shift from the laid-back
Maddon, Girardi does sort of fit the bill. I think it's pretty
clear Theo is tired of celebrity managers, but Girardi isn't
that in the same way Maddon is.

I don't think one year of coaching will get Ross or DeRosa the
job. Outside of Counsell, the track record for guys who didn't
spend at least a few years coaching and/or managing in the
minors has been pretty bad.
I get that Girardi is a temperament change from Maddon...but
they can get a hardass without going to another $5 million/year
manager who doesn't feel like he has to listen to the front
office.

Alex Cora had 1 year as the Astros bench coach. Aaron Boone had
no experience. Roberts had all of 4 years as coach, three years
as a first base coach and 1 as a bench coach.
I think an experienced bench coach and analytics can limit lack
of experience.

I always liked Mark DeRosa as a player. But the last I knew,
DeRosa is extremely skeptical about modern analytics. I don't
think he'll be managing the Cubs.

I dont know where any of you have got that Maddon is a dead man
walking and that Theo is tired of him.

After his Mets interview he acknowledge he had to learn it. I
don’t think anybody that wants to manage this n baseball can
ignore it anymore.
As far as Madden goes he could get extended or he could get
replaced. I think he was the perfect guy to break the 108 year
curse and last year was his most difficult. Marrow and Strop’s
handling have me concerned.

I don’t think Girardi will get 5 millibar this point, and I
don’t see him necessarily as a guy who refuses to listen to the
front office. My bigger concern is that he doesn’t seem all that
enthusiastic about advanced statistics.
