That's definitive! It all makes sense. Fans like him. He was a catcher. He's a "lifer." I don't see why he wouldn't be able to handle the press. He's a part-time broadcaster so he knows how to look into a camera and say things. Plus, he's worked with Michael Kay so someone has to reward him for that.

It's one year. Plus, Girardi and the NY media I don't think will mesh very well... Brian, it’s not like Girardi has that much experience either. It’s one year.
