Sandberg to be considered for Jays' opening 

Post#1 » by LittleOzzy » Wed Sep 22, 2010 10:06 pm

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that Ryne Sandberg will be considered for the Blue Jays' managerial opening.

Sandberg is believed to be the front-runner for the Cubs' gig, at least by the public, but Chicago has not committed to him and it would only serve his cause to have multiple clubs handing him offers. The Blue Jays also have a "long list" of other candidates, according to Morosi. Current Toronto skipper Cito Gaston is stepping down at the end of the 2010 season.

Perfect fit in my opinion. But odds are he gets the Cubs job.

Out of former ball players...I would rather see Tim Wallach get the Jays spot then Ryne Sandberg.

He is the AAA coach in the Dodgers organization and is now stuck there because of Mattingly taking over the big league club at seasons end.

Ryne was manager of the year last year in AAA so its not like he isnt qualified.

I never said he wasn't. I would rather see Wallach get it.

I suspect having a manager with excellent major credentials of his own to be a positive in the club house. One could do worse than having a hall of famer with manager-of-the-year credentials as the manager :)

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

If we're someone's second choice, I want a proven MLB manager. MLB is different than AAA.
