Is Girardi a good manager?
I just realized my previous post is a day late. For some reason it was saved as a draft and I just published it.
After 1 year at the helm, is Girardi the right guy for the Yankees? He seems to have issues with the NY media by not always telling the truth and trying to play games. It appears Rivera has a shoulder injury but Girardi was afraid to admit it. Now the NY media is roasting him. Can he handle NY as a manager?
Torre is not coming back. That bridge burned a looooooong time ago. Girardi is signed for 2 more years. It will be interesting to see if Cashman comes back. I am not sure Cashman and Girardi get along great. Cashman is an upfront type of guy.
If Girardi goes, who comes in? Bobby Valentine? Donnie baseball?
In my opinion Girardi stays for at least another year, if for any reason the Yankees are cheap when it comes to managers pay and will not wan to pay the buyout. I also think he needs 1 more year to learn how to manage in NY.
The biggest decision and move this offseason is Mr. Cash-man. That decision sets the tone for the whole offseason. I think he needs to come back and hopes that he does.
