Joe Girardi

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Ken Rosenthal article on Fox Sports about Joe Girardi's contract with the Yankees running out after this season, and his options for 2014 and beyond. Interesting read. One line that caught my eye:

 

Other, less desirable possibilities also might arise — maybe the Angels if they part with Mike Scioscia (beware, meddling owner),

If you all thought Scioscia made some frustrating in-game strategic moves, just wait until you get a load of what "The Binder" is capable of.

My own viewpoint is that Girardi is not a great manager. With the roster he has been given for most of his time in New York, just throw them out there and watch the wins roll in.

Explain this season for Girardi with the AAAA infield he has had almost the entire season.

I'm pretty meh about Girardi as a manager.  The fact that he has no ties whatsoever to the Angels organization isn't exactly inspiring either.

[Scott34]

Girardi would be awful.

[FireThemAll]

Girardi has a very bad roster this year, and his team is right there in playoff contention yet again. I don't watch the Yankees that often, but going off the results this year, Girardi>Sosh.

Why does it matter that he has no ties to the Angels organization? Not even just Girardi, but any managerial candidate. Scioscia had no ties to the Angels before he was hired and that worked out pretty well, no?  Not trying to pick on you either, WallyWorld, I just see this sentiment a lot and fail to understand why it is a major criteria in hiring a new manager, coach or GM. Just ask yourself who the best managers in baseball have been over the last several decades, then examine whether or not they had a link to the team previously. In a majority of cases the answer is that they had no ties whatsoever.

I didn't mean to infer that it would have anything to do with whether or not he would be a good manager with us.  Just purely in terms of my excitement/interest level.

You're Joe Girardi ...

It doesn't. That statement was pretty absurd.

 

However if I had a say at this point I think I'd take Joe Torre over Joe Girardi.
