The biggest part of being a manager,IMO, is motivation. Johnson could handle the egos well which I think was a bug part of Torre's success.

Never once, with all the press about the book, did I hear Mattingly's name brought up with Torre's and tying the two together that way. |

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Team USA ill-served by Johnson And this story is from the LA Times just before he was fired by the Dodgers: Quote:
If this is typical opinion of Johnson these days, I would say Pena and Mattingly would have nothing to worry about as far as he is concerned. Last edited by Déjà Bru; 04-27-2009 at 04:32 PM. |

Ken Rosenthal is the Colin Cowherd of print. He says things just to get a reaction sometimes. And if he was criticized for not bunting enough... I agree though that Mattingly would be an excellent choice.

However, sources said that the Yankees were extremely impressed with his interview. It was one of the reasons the Yankees and Girardi asked him if he stay as bench coach. And Pena, being the great guy he is, said yes. When it comes to Mattingly, I think it depends on where he feels wanted. I bet if Torre can convince Dodger management to have Mattingly be his successor, Donny will stay in LA. If that happens, I'd be surprised if the Yankees don't give Pena another serious look.

OK, you're on MY s*** list!
( )- - - Stealing home has to be up there with triple and grand slam as the most exciting plays in baseball. Why, dammit, did it have to be against the Yankees?

You're welcome. Speaking of welcome, how about you returning the favor and making Phil Hughes' debut tonight a pleasurable one?
