This next manager’s role is going to be coaching up the young talent and absorbing losses.  The next manager (hopefully) will be the one leading the Orioles back to the playoffs.

The leaks are probably coming from people close to the candidates or from the candidates’ current organizations. The Orioles seem so tight lipped. I think that’s why the national reporters get the scoop.

I know next to nothing about any of these guys so far. Hyde seems like a solid choice superficially because Cubs but I got nothing otherwise.

Elias already mentioned that, "We’ll see what happens in terms of process and timing, but I feel like we are well past phase one of this search.”   And as we all know

Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats.

Mike Bell is head of player development.  That seems to be a good thing on your resume for the Orioles at this point.

Mike Bell

Vice President, Player Development

Mike Bell enters his 12th season with the D-backs, 26th in professional baseball and second as Vice President, Player Development. In his current role, Bell oversees and maintains relationships with the organization's affiliates, manages the coordinators and coaching staffs, and handles player acquisitions and transactions.

Bell spent the previous 6 seasons as the Director of Player Development before being promoted to his current position in November 2016. In 7 seasons overseeing D-backs affiliates, 28 clubs have made playoff appearances and 7 have claimed league championships. In 2014, the D-backs had a franchise record-setting 5 postseason teams.

During his 8-year tenure at the helm of the club's Player Development, 41 homegrown players have made their Major League debut with the D-backs.

The Cincinnati native began his post-playing career in 2007 as the manager of Short-Season Yakima and spent three seasons as a skipper, including two at Single-A Visalia (2008-09). Overall, he compiled a 131-146 record as a manager before being promoted to Minor League Field Coordinator in 2010.

A first-round selection (30th overall) of the Rangers in 1993, Bell played parts of 13 Minor League seasons (1993-2005), hitting .265 with 135 homers and 684 RBI in the Rangers, Mets, Reds, Rockies, D-backs, White Sox and Cardinals' organizations.

In 1997, he was selected by the D-backs as an original expansion pick (No. 55 overall) and in 2000, he reached the Majors with the Reds, hitting .222 with 2 homers and 4 RBI in 19 games.

Bell comes from a three-generation baseball family, as his grandfather, Gus, was a member of the Pirates in 1950 and his father, Buddy, had an 18-year playing career during which he was a 5-time AL All-Star and 6-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award® winner as well as a big league manager for 9 seasons. His brother, David, spent 11 seasons in the Majors and currently serves as the San Francisco Giants' Vice President of Player Development while another brother, Ricky, was a first-round pick of the Dodgers in 1997.

He earned his bachelor's degree in business management from University of Phoenix in 2010.

Bell resides in Chandler, Ariz., with his wife, Kelly, and three children, Luke, Mikayla and Madeline.

At least they are living up to their nomenclature!

[Frobby]

From his bio, I might like Mike Bell as director of player development more than as manager.    Of course, he might need to be more than that, in order for us to get permission to interview him.
