October 9, 201510 yr Just let go by the Mariners... definitely an experienced manager. Could he fit here? Maybe at least he warrants an interview? Thoughts? Anyone? Yes? No? Maybe?
October 9, 201510 yr Maybe. I think this interview process gains some serious traction if the Dodgers get eliminated by the Mets. Mattingly seems like the guy Loria is after.
October 9, 201510 yr Author Mattingly also seems like someone we'd hire and then regret. McClendon at least seems a better fit to me.
October 9, 201510 yr I remember when the Mariners and Marlins both extensively used teal. I would always glance at SportsCenter, see a great highlight from a team in teal, and then be disappointed it was the Mariners, not the Marlins. And even their names sound similar! That's all I can add to these managerial threads.

October 9, 201510 yr http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/25332692/dan-jennings-expected-to-return-to-gm-role-with-marlins This says it all. Watch the Video. The last 3 minutes of it. One candidate who I do think would be interesting if you are going down the Nevin route is Dave Martinez.

October 9, 201510 yr if we go that route id prefer someone like Oquendo. Definitely another good candidate.
October 9, 201510 yr If McClendon manages the Marlins, be ready to see Giancarlo square around to bunt in a 4-0 game with a runner on first and one out. (In other words: McClendon is a really, really bad manager who really, really loves to bunt regardless of the game situation. Kind of like Jennings and his double switches.)

October 11, 201510 yr Move of the century. Call up LaRussa from retirement. Offer him 8 million a year. Problem solved. Im an awesome GM!

October 11, 201510 yr LaRussa ain't retired, he's pretty much running the DBacks. Just sayin. He is retired from managing. And he is running the baseball side of things for the Dbacks. There is less than 0 chance he is giving that up to manage more.
October 12, 201510 yr McClendon is terrible, let's not do another retread who has zero success at all on his resume
