If Joe Torre Gets Fired, Who Will The New Yankees Manager Be?

[Mitchell]

This poll asks the question: If And When Joe Torre Is fired, who will the new Yankees manager be?

 

[Mitchell]

My choice for this poll is Larry Bowa. While he was fired from the Phillies, and he didnt achieve the NL East title, or Wild Card, during his tenure, that the Phillies sought, it seems to be that if George Steinbrenner fires the mild mannered, and sometimes probably too laid back Torre, that he may well go with a manager who will light a fire under the Yankees seemingly listless team. The best choice for this, seems to me, to be his coach, Larry Bowa.

One side note. Another name I forgot to include in the list of possible new Yankees managers would be pitching coach Ron Guidry. He would seem to make a sensible choice. He's a career Yankee, and one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the franchise. The only reason that I think Steinbrenner might not make Guidry the new manager, is that Guidry is too laid back. After the laid back Torre, I feel that the Yankee owner will go with someone more emotional.

I think they ought to do their level best to bring back Billy Martin. He's the only guy out there who'd really make George happy. Of course, you might have to call a contractor to the Stadium to do the dugout work in order to make a permanent, secure spot for Billy's coffin, but, hey, it could be done. Hey, no one can convince me that George hasn't at least thought about this.

Don Mattingly is my guess

Reggie Jackson.

Toy brings up an interesting aspect with Rose. He has been banned from baseball for so long. Would Commissioner Selig lift his ban, for him to manage the Yankees? I'm not sure.
