Hard pass on Girardi. He’s a good manager but we’re trying to develop young players and don’t need a hardass 

Only 2 more seasons of Choo and his $21m/year contract!

I hear ya...but all the other names being thrown around don’t excite me either. Good times!

Whoever they pick....gonna have to take the blame for the shitty squad JD gonna trot out there!!

Well, looks like Girardi removed himself from consideration. Next...

Elvis declined to use his opt-out. He’ll be back next year (has another opt-out option next year)

Only free agents now are Beltre, Bartolo, Gallardo and Tony Barnette.

Actually very happy Elvis wants to stick around 

Me too. Hope Beltre does as well

Beltre should be offered some kind of player/coach deal, like the olden days. He is a valuable presence and can still hit.

Sure is taking a long time to find a new manager.  I don't know if that is good or bad.

Seems like I read somewhere that they offered him something like that and he declined. Said he when he was done playing, then he was done.

I've done a poor job following the last couple of years.  Is there a glimmer of hope?  Is our farm system any good?

We’re not going to be ranked high in the farm rankings, but we have some interesting guys in the system. Lots of promising, but risky, pitchers and pure athletes. 

Much of our highly touted farm system from a few years ago is in the majors now (Profar, Maz, Gallo, even Odor). Hope is that a new manager can flip a switch.

Smyly had some promise earlier in his career but now he’s obviously a lottery ticket

Screw it, back up the  truck and sign Kershaw. At least we won't need him for any World Series games.

This...It's not going to be high on any rankings, but that's mostly because our best talent is still down in Single-A. It will take at least another year before you start seeing the results. But heavy on acquiring pitching prospects the last couple of years.

Well he's used to losing back to back World Series so he will fit right in.

Seems like a no-brainer pick, considering his extensive MLB coaching experience.

 

Coaching

Woodward retired on November 1, 2012 and joined the Seattle Mariners organization as minor league infield coordinator.[15] He became the Mariners' infield coach in 2014,[16] but opted not to return for the 2016 season.[17] On December 17, 2015, he was named the third base coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers.[18]

Woodward managed New Zealand in the 2017 World Baseball Classic qualification tournament in Australia in 2016.[19]

On November 2, 2018, Woodward was hired to be the manager of the Texas Rangers for the 2019 season.[20]

I had no idea Woodward was on anyone's radar as managerial material.

Another third base coach to be our manager. Great.

I feel like we are going to suck again. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all I got

The new manager hiring has really energized fan enthusiasm.

And Banny. JD has developed a hatred for the letter B.

Adrian is a goner.

Ortiz - Hitting Coach

Wakamatsu - Bench Coach

Tingler - Major League player development field coordinator

Tony Beasley - 3B Coach

Hector Ortiz - 1B Coach

 

That seemed really quick
