Obviously, take this stuff with a massive grain of salt.

It's like changing captains on the Titanic after it's hit the iceberg.

Not surprised you'd get on the Titanic after it was sliced.

The idea is so dumb it's nearly impossible the Tigers wont do it.

7 of his 13 years, he's been in top 3 for Manager of the year, winning it in 2010. To do what he did with half the money that other teams had was amazing. being a little older than Ausmus might work better with the team.

So manager of the year is what matters? Your buddy Smokey Leyland won it 3 times to Gardenhires 1.

And money is irrelevant. He had talent on his roster, which you need to win. Once the talent got traded away, left via FA or got old, the Twins started to suck. (Examples of said talent; Joe Mauer, Torii Hunter, Justin Morneau, Joe Nathan, Johan Santana, Fransisco Liriano)

Let's hire Lamont. He was a MOTY winner. Guillen, Wedge and ... Larry Bowa too.

I do not want this guy. Who could we get btw?

 

[Rebbiv]

6-21 post season record, 2-15 after the first season. His teams were swept the last 3 years in the playoffs.

Also, talent wins. We could hire LaRussa for all I care and we would still only win 70 games.

3 pitchers, that leaves 1 .300 hitter without power and 2 with a little power.

f*** Lamont, that's why I'm hoping Gardy brings in his own people. take that whole coaching staff except Omar and throw them to the curb.

Ah, so only power guys are considered good.

It doesn't matter who the manager is with this pitching staff, nobody is going to win with it, however I am in favor of this move if it happens, Ausmus sucks balls.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Just for s&g I would have went with McClendon. At least we have a good chance to see some interesting things on the Diamond.. His tantrums are always first class.
