New Manager Discussion

I think just those three. Maybe we have to fight out SD for Lehman? Lombard's not a bad fallback choice though.

I'd be excited for Lehmann and Lombard, fine with Flaherty, but pretty pissed with Gibbons.

How can someone be that bad at their job and still have it for so many years

Eats the possible competition and replacements.

Part of me would rather have Lombard.

Lehmann has had the best of everything out in LA while Lombard had less in Detroit and did pretty well. It'll be interesting to see how Lehmann does outside of LA.

It’s really just that Lombard is a former MLB player and top prospect, so we know he can relate to the clubhouse on that front. He’s also apparently bi-lingual, so he will have an easier time communicating with the Spanish-speaking players. All that while also being analytically savvy. I’m just a little afraid that Lehmann might be all analytics, but that’s really based on nothing other than his resume compared to Lombard’s.

I'll be fine with either one. At least we have 2 good options available and it doesn't look like it'll be Weiss.

Damn son

 

[Heyward]

Walt Weiss named manager per Passan. That has to be some kind of sick joke.

My God man.

Wtf

Unserious

 

[bravesnumberone]

That reeks of Terry McGuirk

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I’m surprised

 

[Heyward]

I dont think a manager has as big of an impact game as some think. But Weiss even over Flaherty or Ross is crazy. Maybe AA thinks there'll be a lockout in 27 but idk man.

 

[CyYoung31]

Someone is corrupting this fucking organization, and I need answers.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Now the Padres will excel by getting Lehmann.

Fire AA

 

[bravesnumberone]

Maybe Lehmann turned us down. I suspect that AA is GM in name only.
