Comments on: The results of today’s Tampa meetings http://riveraveblues.com/2007/10/the-results-of-todays-tampa-meetings-1421/ A New York Yankees Blog Sun, 27 May 2012 04:10:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Troy http://riveraveblues.com/2007/10/the-results-of-todays-tampa-meetings-1421/#comment-27039 Troy Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:14:42 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2007/10/16/the-results-of-todays-tampa-meetings/#comment-27039 It seems like too many people want a quick decision. What I want is the Yankees to make a good decision by taking all the time that is necessary. There is no rush. Things they should be discussing and agreeing on are what percentage of the managers job is in-game decisions, lineup construction, pitching usage, player motivation, ego massaging, media relations, box office draw, etc. Based n the outcome of this discussion they can then find the best candidate. Here's my guess (hope) on the outcome Manager - Joe Torre (2 yr deal with team option) - Must be on same page with organizational philosophy on player/pitcher usage patterns Bench coach - Joe Girardi Pitching coach - Leo Mazzone Bullpen coach - Joe Kerrigan (keep Eiland at Triple AAA and give him a raise - if he is so good with young arms that's where the bulk of them are) Manager AAA or AA - Don Mattingly - Since he is the heir apparent all efforts should be made to ensure he is as ready as he can be. He needs atleast one year of experience managing It seems like too many people want a quick decision. What I want is the Yankees to make a good decision by taking all the time that is necessary.

Manager – Joe Torre (2 yr deal with team option) – Must be on same page with organizational philosophy on player/pitcher usage patterns
Bench coach – Joe Girardi

Bullpen coach – Joe Kerrigan (keep Eiland at Triple AAA and give him a raise – if he is so good with young arms that’s where the bulk of them are)
Manager AAA or AA – Don Mattingly – Since he is the heir apparent all efforts should be made to ensure he is as ready as he can be. He needs atleast one year of experience managing

Two things:

1 – The Reds hiring Dusty Baker is hardly as news worthy as the Yankees situation.

2 – That’s where the old proverb “A Red Snapper in hand is worth more than a box on a table.” comes from.

Now from the even a blind squirrel department, Michael Kay mentioned today that MLB has reprimanded the Yankees in the past for announcing big news on playoff game days. It is possible that they reached a conclusion today, but decided to hold off until tomorrows off day to announce it. Let me preface this by stating the obvious. Michael Kay is an IDIOT.
