    It would be cool if the manager candidates campaigned. Would love to here, "When I'm manager I plan to clean up MMP and make this a true HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE. Make MMP great again!"

    Dusty being gone almost makes up for the way the Astros ended the season. The future is bright!

    Why do I have a bad feeling that it's going to be Brad Ausmus

    You don’t remember Ausmus almost becoming GM last year?

    Apparently not.
    Better than Dusty I suppose, but barely.

    Maybe we can snag Roberts from LA. Would love to have 100 wins every season and lose in the first round. I mean, think of the press

    Ausmus is going to be such a donkey kick in the nuts. Keep Jeff Bagwell the **** out of this! And everything else for that matter.

    No worries, it's literally impossible to do worse than Dusty Baker.

    These are not awe inspiring names. Espada should be the guy if you're going off of that list. I'd like to think they could do way better than this.

    Please hire Dana Holgersen. For obvious reasons.

    I think Brown and Crane collaborate to bring in a new manager, then he brings his own bench manager with Browns approval. Espada seems unlikely unless Crane is unhappy with Brown.

    That's why I said "personally" and I'll lean towards Nooks belief that there could be some interest in Cora.
