And I hated (as those who frequent the Yankee thread know) the move to get rid of Mazzilli. I think he's a quality coach, and I wish he'd be the one to take over after the Torre dynasty. I'm not sold on Mattingly at all, even though I loved him has a player. I'd rather see them give Girardi a shot, let Mattingly manage the AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre team first.
I agree, Girarid proved he can win with almost ANY amount of talent last year in Florida and Mattingly has yet to prove himself. I think Joe would do a solid job (if he can maintain a good relationship with King George)
