Who will be new Phillies Manager?

[ngineer]

Now that the dirty deed had been done, I've seen a number of possible candidates and I'm sure there are some names we haven't heard or thought about. Of those I've heard, I thought I would post and see what your reaction is. If you pick "other" please post who you think.

I voted for Girardi, because I think it makes sense for the type of manager the Phils need. There is some sentiment for Maddon, being somewhat a local guy, but if they can afford Girardi, I think he brings the type of manager this team, at this time, needs.

I voted Girardi as well. I thought the fix was in for Showalter a week ago, but the Phils May be moving in Joe’s direction.

I heard Girardi was or will be back in Philly this week for a 'second interview'..Sounds like the 'short list' has been made. Who else is on it?

Article in the paper today about Dusty Baker being interviewed and how he has incorporated "analytics" into his managerial process.
