Who is the Reds' Next Manager?

[UKMustangFan]

My list:

 

Larussa (not likely to come out of retirement, IMO)

Matt Williams

Alan Trammell

Brad Ausmus

 

Not a fan of Trammell, wouldn't mind the rest.

[MJAlltheWay24]

What about Mike Sciosia? I think I would be in favor of him coming to Cincy. After this year, he'd probably like a change also.

[SSC]

Riggleman had 3 winning seasons in his ML career. He managed for 12 years....

 

I will not like that hire. He bunts more than Dusty.

[stickymitts]

Same as Ausmus....

 

Yep. I'm trying to look for what Ausmus has been doing but this stupid job is interfering. Where is he now? Still Padres?

[LOOGY]

Management knows they can't screw this up. I think they will take their time, and the best possible choice will be made. I have faith in them

More than Matheney had been doing.

Then again Bob Boone was a bust. Not all catchers make good managers.

Charlie Manuel??

Yes. Somewhere in their organization. He always seemed like a very cerebral guy, and his name is constantly mentioned as a future mangerial star. He's young enough the players could relate to him, and he was always considered the leader of the Astros. Positive clubhouse guy, who would command the players respect.

Fact. It just seems like the majority of former catchers that manage are good ones.

I'm leaning.

I think Ausmus will be a very good manager.....for the Cubs in 2014.

They've said he's not being considered...I think they want Girardi and are going all in on him.

If the Yankees want him to stay, no way the Cubs get him.

 

Than again, the Yankees may not want him that bad.

For some reason I hadn't considered him. Might be an interesting choice.
