Phils likely taking Wathan as Manager

[JuTMSY4]

Per Twatter or something. Not done yet, but pretty close. Honestly, my guess is that other candidates weren't as "accepting" of the control that Klentak and Co. are probably putting on the position. I can't blame a number of candidates for that. It's a little disconcerting, although I like Dusty.

I was really hoping for Gabe Kapler. Hopefully Dusty is better than the last 2 managers.

I like Callaway - annoyed he's going to the Mutts

[D Leff]

A lot of people saying this a bs report and it may still be Kapler. We'll see.

No no no, anyone but Baker

The man is a stone, proven loser. The Phils are finally showing some life with their young players and I’d hate to see him fuck them up before we get started.

He couldn’t do it three times with tons of talent. I’d be pissed if they hired him.

Also, MLB Network has “Baseball seasons 1960” on last night. I practically cried with joy through the entire hour. Related, the Phils don’t need a buddy like Baker for mgr. they could use a prick like Green who just ran the show and didn’t bother to make friends with the players.

Yeah according to Zolecki they interviewed John Farrell today. Nothing against Whalen but I would like some outside blood this time.

Dusty has managed all the prospects at different levels and he’s been pretty successful at it. I assume that’s their main motivation with him. I neither hate nor love the thought of Dusty getting the gig. I loved Chip and hated Dougie P getting the jobs though, so, what do I know.

Uh ... he's referring to Dusty Wathan

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Uh ... he's referring to Dusty Wathan

Never mind.

[JuTMSY4]

Although, I agree - I want no part of Dusty Baker.

Morning update

I'd be fine with Girardi.

Doesn't make a lot off sense the Yankoffs not renewing him.

[JuTMSY4]

what a bunch of morons.
