WildMarlinMan2003 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I tried to make it in order of chance to be hired but I know that Fregosi and Delgado don't get along so I doubt he will be hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAndMrsFish Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I think Leyland, if he is willing to step back into the dugout, would be just what the Marlins need to spark their team...remember a managerial change in 2003 is what led the team to the W.S. title...this team is too damn good to be tied for last place in this division...

sportsbamer Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hit the road, Jack? Jul 18 - According to the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, the Marlins are giving serious consideration to firing manager Jack McKeon in an effort to shake up one of baseball's biggest disappointments. The top candidate to replace McKeon, 74, would be Yankees bench coach Joe Girardi, a National League source said. Other names being considered are former Marlins managers Jim Leyland and Jeff Torborg, Devil Rays manager Lou Piniella, former Red Sox manager Grady Little and Braves third-base coach Fredi Gonzalez.

OmarUM483 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Tony Pena is my pick.... Not only is he relatively young, he did an AMAZING job with the Royals in '03, he will bring in a new philosophy, and his is latin so he will be able to related to the players.... I think other than Jack in '03, he was the best manager out there... GO TONY!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMarlin93 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 LOU is the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMarlinMan2003 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 LOU is the one. 861696[/snapback] Why? He's old and hasn't done anything good in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 LOU is the one. 861696[/snapback] Why? He's old and hasn't done anything good in a while. 861699[/snapback] Thats because he manages the Devil Rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMarlinMan2003 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Pena hasn't been mentioned in many rumors about the Marlins. Surprisingly Torborg has- I can't see that happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I'd like for Tony Pe?a to get it; however, I believe Joe Girardi has the inside track. Let's wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMarlinMan2003 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Girardi would be a mistake. We need a guy with at least a little experience. I am a huge fan of both Leyland and Fredi Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly Torborg has- I can't see that happening again. 861714[/snapback] I think the reason you don't hear Pena's name is because he wants to coach in the World Baseball Classic next spring and if he is affilated with any team he will not be allowed, I think Pena wants to take the rest of this season off and then next season before he thinks about coming back to the big leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastie Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I'll take Freddy from the Braves...he knows how a team should be run. And I like former players so Girardi would be good to. IMO But whatever they do please no Jeff Torborg. Please no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accord Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Who do I want? MORDEY. Who do I think they'll sign? Joe Girardi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMarlinsWinThe Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 1. Leyland- a winner. I think he's ready to come back. 2. Fredi Gone - great baseball smarts. 3. Grady Little - Actually not a bad manager, unlike what RSN thinks 4. Mordey - love the guy .. .. ... ... 99. Lou Pinella - not a fan, sorry.

WildMarlinMan2003 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I don't understand why Loria and everyone is so high on Girardi? I think the Marlins need a guy with a little experience with a Spanish background....like Fredi Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
