Who would you hire to replace Buck?

And for that matter, it will probably won't matter who the GM is, either.

Especially that.  The guy who reloads the copier would be just as effective and a lot cheaper.

I nominate inanimate carbon rod for next manager.  I bet Davis wouldn't be hitting fifth with carbon rod in charge.

Does anyone have any faith that the Angelos/Anderson cabal will have any sway with a GM and/or manager that will be of any value?   I know I don't.

I have none

No to Girardi.  God no.  I wouldn't be able to watch games anymore with him changing pitchers 180 times a game.

Who needs a GM when we have a three headed GM in Baltimore already... WAIT or is it 4 headed 

We have enough GM's in Baltimore now who needs another one. LOL

In a perfect world I would hire Brady Anderson to do it just so that he has some accountability in the organization.  

But that won't happen.

Realistically the best option is probably Girardi.  As much as we loathed the guy when he was with NY I felt like he really helped those Yankee teams achieve more than they should have.

I’m with you on Gerardi. I never thought I’d say that. And agreed about him getting the most out of those despised Yankee teams. 

Brady would take too long styling his hair with “product”, evening up his sideburns and putting on his yoga pants under his uniform pants.

I don't believe that Girardi would even consider managing the Orioles.

Were the Angelos-Anderson cabal to fire Buck during the season, my guess is John Russell would handle the job until a permanent replacement is hired.  I am doubtful this will occur and believe Buck finishes the contract he is paid to perform.

Therefore, for this exercise, it's the offseason, and a search begins.  This isn't who do you think they will hire with all the internecine organizational politics but rather who should they hire?  Make your case to the Angelos family and Brady.

I have no idea. They should hire a GM first then let him/her hire who they want as manager.

Girardi would never work for Angelos.  Why he want to work for such a dysfunctional organization as this one? And no I  don't loathe that man at all.

Javy Lopez or bust!

catchers make great managers!

Anyone know if Chris Hoiles is busy?

[jabba72]

Wieters as manager.

Someone mentioned JJ. I'd be fine with that.

Hardy would be interesting if the roster is completely overhauled at the deadline/during the offseason.  Wouldn't want to have a manager who recently played with a lot of guys on the team. Caleb Joseph might also be an interesting choice.

Have a feeling Buck is promoted to GM with Brady continuing his undefined role. John Russel becomes manager.

Step 1 - Brady as GM

Step 2 - Cal as manager

Step 3 - Raffy at 1B

 

The "new look"  Baltimore Orioles..........

"Come back and see the team you love(d)!"

Man the marketing ideas would be endless at least.
