Batting Lead Off, Joe Girardi

Perhaps if Bob Sheppard is feeling better, he can announce each managerial candidate as they step up to be screened. First up today is Joe Girardi, widely favored by the Yankees fans who are looking for more experience than Don Mattingly. Though Girardi only has 1 year in MLB managerial experience, he has the cachet of having been a major league catcher. Whether accurate or not, former catchers are quickly deemed good managerial prospects.

Donnie Baseball will go in for his interview on Tuesday, with Tony Pena following sometime there after. Whether or not any other candidates (i.e. John Farrell) will be looked at, remains to be seen.
