Lol no. If they're hiring someone it's probably going to be a first time manager. If they're going to move on from Gibbons and remain semi-competitive (to retool and get younger) then he's probably going to give a shot to a new manager, Shapiro during his tenure only hired Acta and Francona as managers with past managing experience. If I had to guess maybe Sandy Alomar Jr. or DeMarlo Hale if he wants to stay internal (don't know much about his philosophy).

And another report said the front office is actually very happy with Gibby.

 

Just leave it alone.

 

In soccer when the front office give a vote of confidence it usually translates to "you have a week to clear your desk" lol

Could Lovullo become a candidate in Toronto if the Blue Jays change managers? Team president Mark Shapiro brought in Eric Wedge to the front office as a possible manager-in-waiting. He’s also fond of Bud Black and Lovullo, who coached in Toronto under John Farrell and worked in Shapiro’s farm system in Cleveland.

 

So that's the exact quote from Cafardo. There's no real substance to it. Purely speculative. No source or anything. Just three names he figure are in the mix for their Cleveland connections. They aren't bad guesses but he has no real insight into the front offices' thinking.

Yea, that's true in the BPL.

But it really depends on the club, usually the crazy ones do that where the sane ones just say "no comment" or "he's under contract until the end of this season".

Louvollo's still in the mix for the Boston job if Farrell gets fired if the Sox are bounced early and/or they fall into the wild card and lose the WC game..

 

Red Sox are winning the World Series though.

Isn't Bud Black known for his bullpen management? If so, would be a great choice over Gibby regardless of this team's season outcome.

How has Ausmus been with the Tigers? I remember at the time he was a fan of advanced stats and a lot of people wanted him here.

Unless we go deep in the playoffs I don't think there's any way Gibbons is back here. I've said it a few times, but even with a fairly good record, I think Atkins and company are smart enough to see the numerous idiotic mistakes Gibbons has made.

He's one of the worst managers in baseball.

I saw a couple of articles not too long ago talking about Ausmus and from what I read there and in the comments the people seem indifferent about him but say he's better than Leyland lol.

 

Then again I saw one of the articles talk about how he's using Justin Wilson and Shane Green a lot in leverage situations as a negative... but if you head over to Fangraphs they're the top 2 relievers on the Tigers so I think the articles that I see are from the Blairs and Wilners of the Tigers

Just hire a puppet like Kevin Cash pls

 

A guy like Dave Robert's would be nice. A saber-metric driven manager who makes the best possible decisions using numbers instead of his gut would be great.

Well, he consistently gives Jose Iglesias more PA than JD Martinez, Miguel Cabrera, and V-Mart.

I would love to see Dave Martinez given a chance but I don't think he'll get one any time soon. Also don't really think Gibbons is going anywhere.
