If Baker is fired, he would immediately be at the top of nearly everyone's list who is looking for a manager next year. He definitely would be a better option than anyone listed in this thread.

Cox isn't unretiring.

I pray that LaRussa isn't, either.

I like the Martinez pick... And briefly he was a Red

Lou Pinella. What better situation to come out of retirement?

I believe that Martinez is clearly the best of the non-retreads out there if a change must be made.

Plus RedsZone may finally get its wish and see Ryan Hanigan at the top of the lineup.

What is his resume?
Why is he considered a hot commodity?

Let's face it, the names out there don't seem to be that great, and I hope that Dusty is back.

I agree. I'm a huge fan of Hershiser too, but I think Martinez has more pertinent coaching experience. Maddon has noted several times that Martinez is responsible for a great deal of the daily operations of the Rays.

Bell is an intriguing candidate and knows the game as thoroughly as anyone. I think the jury may still be out on his ability to develop players. He's at least close to becoming a serious candidate or a MLB coach.

Any insight into Bell's in-game management skills? Or do AAA managers have their hands tied too much by organizational directives to get a good indication how they perform?

If that is the choice, then I say keep Dusty.

WVPacman · 10-12-2012, 11:17 PM

Ok I'll throw a name out!!

What do you all think Lloyd McClendon and what he could do with this team? He done a good job with the pirates with the players they had.With a team like the reds I think he could do a much better job than when he was with the pirates.
