    Not sure why the Yankees or the Redsox never considered Mike Stanley as a manager. Very intelligent baseball mind with coaching experience.

    I’m not sure SCM. There were lots of well respected candidates not considered. I’m not sure what the ultimate motivation was. It seemed the conventional choices were shunned for a new age approach. The undertones I’ve gleamed on Girardi seem to point towards an underlying issue with multiple players, a fair amount of them Latin. This is why I anticipated Beltran. One of the concerns I have with Boone is if any players take umbrage with some of his criticisms when he was in the media. Regardless, this isn’t the typical “steady hand” approach that I expected. I think Cash wants a players manager who incorporates analytics. We have the talent for sure. Who knows if this is the right move

    His Wikipedia page says he's currently the assistant baseball coach at a prep school in Florida. That Mike Stanley?

    He was the bench coach for the 2002 Sox, but hasn't done much since then. I'm pretty sure that if you dangled a Butch Husky or Reggie Jefferson in front of SCM, that they'd be hired right away.

    Well, it seems like you still like men, and for your information.....I only approve of Reggie Jefferson.


    ......come to think of it, he'd probably make a decent hitting coach

    Joe Girardi incorporated analytics--this is why he was called by some, "bookbinder Joe." In contrast, I never once heard Boone refer to analytics when he announced games, whereas a guy like D.Cone did this on a regular basis.

    It's funny, most of the GMs in baseball today, including Brian Cashman, devalue the role of manager. I can certainly understand that line of thinking. But what they forget to tell you is that a high school kid with basic math skills and knowledge of the game could be a competent and quality GM. It doesn't take much skill or talent.
