Who realistically would you like to see as manager in 2010? It's easy for some to kick him to the curb. Let's see how easy it would be to get someone to take his place.

I would start interviewing any coach in the majors or minors that shows interest in managing and hire the one that best fits the criteria I look for in a manager to a 1 year deal with an option for 2 years, with year 1 being the test to see if he sticks to what he claimed in the interview. If he sticks to it, then he gets 2 years to work on winning.

I'm not interested in signing a big name.

I have been thinking recently about Don Baylor. He's an Oriole Way guy, he's super-hard nosed, and he's a bit crabby. I think he may have the right kind of personality for what this team needs for a change of pace from the last 4 managers, all of who were kind of mild-mannered. Mild-mannered can be fine, but sometimes a team needs someone to stir the pot. I think it's time for that here if Trembley goes.

Does he have any coaching or managerial experience?

Ron Gardenhire, Scioscia and Francona are all fine managers IMO and none of them strike me as crabby and super hard nosed. I don't think DI's temeperment automatically translates into a good manager nor do I think that's what is required for this team. What this team needs is better pitching, better defense, and better hitting . We need a manager who can provide that.

Does anyone know where to find a list of ML managers and their contract status(es)? Would be interesting to see who may be available.

There is no other answer to this question. Great post.

These threads (and there are as many or more than the very "Fire the Manager" threads they try to combat) are built around a major logical fallacy: that because somebody does not know 100% that a new manager will be better than the old manager, or doesn't have the access to know specifically what potential candidates think on different subjects, we should keep our present manager.

That is like saying, "Well, I could go to that new restaurant down the street that looks like it serves quality food, but I don't know what I might get so I'll just stick with McDonalds."

This guy...

...thinks that's a giant strawman.

Fans of each of those teams would argue the quality of those managers.

What part of the bolded part of what I wrote did you not understand? Yes, I agree Gardenhire, Scioscia and Francona are all good managers who are mild mannered. There are lots of others you didn't name. My point is sometimes a change of pace in personality style is required.
