Dodgers Manager Candidates: A Round Up of Media Ideas
The news heard around Dodgers Nation yesterday was the news some fans have been waiting for, for a very long time. After 5 years, Don Mattingly and the Dodgers mutually agreed to part ways after terms of a contract extension could not be agreed upon. Quickly soon after, fans, media sites, blogs, radio and sports shows started throwing out names for the next Dodgers manager from Magic Johnson to Gabe Kapler. Let’s break it down the best candidate pieces we could find:

As a 46 year Dodger fan my top choice for Dodger manager is Tim Wallach
“Quickly soon after?” What’s that mean? ROFL
I like Tim Wallach
I would change the front office what happened when Price,Hummel’s Etc.. Were available and we got no one. Everyone keeps talking about the deep pockets The dodgers have why didn’t we pick up a couple of the front line pictures who was out for the taking. You cant blame that on Donnie. Let me say it again Keep Donnie and get rid of the top brass
