Comments on: It’s a bumper crop of managers. http://umpbump.com/press/2007/10/09/its-a-bumper-crop-of-managers/ In-your-face baseball commentary Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:48:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Paul Moro http://umpbump.com/press/2007/10/09/its-a-bumper-crop-of-managers/comment-page-1/#comment-53300 Paul Moro Tue, 09 Oct 2007 17:18:05 +0000 http://umpbump.com/press/its-a-bumper-crop-of-managers/#comment-53300 I think LaRussa in NYC is a terrible idea. Sure, he's a name that won't be overshadowed by the Torre-era. But given his experimental style of managing, his "smartest-guy-in-the-room" attitude, and last year's DUI charge, the media is going to have a field day with this guy. I don't think that La Russa is a guy who will break as a result of the scrutiny. But it will put the Yankees in the papers for the wrong reasons. Plus, can you imagine this guy handling the young careers of Hughes, Joba, Kennedy, etc? Maybe the success of Wainwright has changed his mind a bit but he's not exactly known as a guy who likes young players. I think LaRussa in NYC is a terrible idea.

"WTF is wrong with Gagne?" may be the true unanswerable question, but you've come as close as any human possibly can.

Thanks for the mention of our site. I'm biased, obviously, but I'm going with theory #4. Adam Sarah,
