November 1, 201214 yr @PatNeshek: Great to see Mike Redmond getting the Marlins job. Coincidentally this morning I unpacked a box with this autograph. http://t.co/ApDQ75r0
November 1, 201214 yr Good to see Red get the job, I always liked him a a player so I'm hoping he'll end up with the same career path as Joe Girardi.
November 1, 201214 yr Im in favor of this message....LOL I like the hiring quite a bit and thing Red will do a good job, he can be a great motivator if you talk to any of the guys from the 2003 team and before. He got numerous endorsements from people that have ties to the organization, that is why I think he got the job and I think Price pulling out was more of a ploy because he was probably told that it was going to be Redmond. Good Luck Mike !!!!! Going to be interesting to see who is the hitting and pitching coaches, love that Perry Hill is back.
November 1, 201214 yr I love this move. I hope this is the last time we have to hear about a managerial change for at least ten years, and I think he's the right guy to build a winning culture within this organization.
November 1, 201214 yr I also saw on Rodriguez' twitter that Cornelius may be promoted to pitching coach. As for Beinfest and Jennings not talking, they did talk on The Franchise when trading Mujica,
November 1, 201214 yr The interview for manager probably involved many Yes or No questions. Redmond answered Yes the most times, so he got hired. He also had the absent goatee, and didn't have a Twitter account.
November 1, 201214 yr I think Redmond could be solid but I really wanted Sandy Alomar Jr. Why? He has to complain about something. We're marlins fans afterall. Bobby V for bench coach.
November 1, 201214 yr I think Redmond could be solid but I really wanted Sandy Alomar Jr. Why? Like Redmond, he's a catcher who truly understands the game and has done his time coaching. He is also a gold glover and is very well respected, well spoken, and Hispanic which is always a plus in this market.

A man should never be considered because of the color of his skin, and never excluded. If someone supports someone simply because his color and nationality they are small minded. That's the reason why I'm opposed to rules such as the Rooney Rule. It may help one guy get the interview, but does he really deserve it or is he becoming the token prize. The only difference between Redmond and Alomar is his skin color. Both are well respected and spoken highly of in professional circles.

Now I hope you are not taking the liberty of calling me a racist. It's one of the reasons why they hired Ozzie Guillen and the same reason why teams like the Montreal Canadiens, and I've lived in Montreal for 5 years until I move this month, hire coaches who speak French. Though some who endorse that may in fact be racists, it's about appealing to the population.

If they'd rather have a a coach that could speak French than a winning team, more power to them but you ( the fan base not you specifically) have no right to say all southern market fans are ignorant and know nothing abut hockey.

The Canadians are a exception. They play in a provenance that is primarily French Canadian and speaks primarily only French. They need a coach who is willing and able to communicate in both French for te hometown papers and English for the league. That's one of the primary reasons Eric Lindros refused to report to Quebec in the 90's. The need to speak French. Here, if you can speak Spanish its nice- but it's not needed as it is up there
November 2, 201214 yr Ok? He was slow. What does that have to do with how he manages? You think Leyland, LaRussa, McKeon or Babe Ruth could have legged that out?
