Espada keeps being "menionted' as being considered for managerial openings but has never been hired. |

Could this possibly be a simple ploy to play out this season and return Hinch and Luhnow to their roles next season? To what benefit? Correct. |

I didn’t care for Hinch firing but understood it. I didn’t care much for the Baker hiring. However, rehiring Hinch would be ten times dumber than both moves.

I am surprised that such a great baseball mind has to ask this question...........Espada keeps being mentioned, but, I have yet to see exactly how many times he has even been granted an interview. Being mentioned but not interviewed means he was never actually given serious consideration for the job. Anyone can be mentioned.....only those the GM or owners think are strongly qualified actually receive interviews, although some clubs interview minorities even though they know they won't hire them just to keep those who look for reasons to whine about racism from going on another rant. |

I had to deal with them when I was coaching. I had some good hitters who were dumb as dirt and you were never sure if tbey knew the signs, LOL |

Being ready to manage, and being the best fit for what a team wants are two different things. But, he is clearly considered a capable option by multiple organizations. Just because they didn't pick him doesn't mean he isn't ready or prepared to be a good manager. Sometimes people have to put in more time than others before they get their shot. |

Crane indicated today that he may have a GM hired in a couple of weeks or during ST. We need somebody to realize we need to try and find a "project" that might fit into our pitching staff. Dusty said a main goal was find a replacement for Cole.....that is unlikely. We at least need to be inviting some unsigned pitchers to ST so we can take a look.

If he had several interviews, it seems like he should fit somewhere if he is ready to manage. |

No, it isn't. i doubt if he has the experience most teams are looking for in a manager. I really know very little about him aside of his being Hinch's bench coach. |

New rumor.
If the Padres miss out on Mookie Betts they could start calling teams about there spare Vet OFers.
One name to Mention.......
Josh Reddick.
Itcan be assumed his value is down alittle but he still provides very good def and an above average bat. He may not slam the HRs, but he can atleast provide some spark every now and then.
He is a streaky hitter, he ia either hot or ice cold. But can stay warm of periods of time.
A good trade Idea would be Josh Reddick alittle cash For Gabriel Aries SS.

Reddick couldn't even cheat and hit for average. Why would anyone want to trade for him?

I like this from the article at Astros.com:
“Baker brings a level-headed and steady voice that will resonate with the players and with the media. And he also won’t put up with any nonsense.”
I hope we have seen the last of Bregman’s staring at, and posing for, the TV cameras.
