Girardi turns down Orioles.   email this discussion to a friend?

rperryii (19) 5 years ago

By turning down the Baltimore Orioles today, Joe Girardi, last years National League manager of the Year, is keeping the possibility open that he will replace Joe Torre as manager of the New York Yankees, should Yankee Owner George Steinbrenner deem that a change is necessary.

There are several jobs that may be more lucritive then the Orioles position, but would he choose to wait on the possibility of future offers without having some kind of understanding concerning his future options with the team he is currently employed with.

It seems that Don Mattingly would have much more of an oppurtunity to receive the promotion as Torre's replacement, but Girardi's resume is impressive already.

I'm curious to see how it will play out.

Joe Girardi did a real smart thing turning down the Orioles. The Orioles are a bad team who don't look like they will get much better anytime soon. They have some good pitching, but their hitting is just weak. If Torre does step down as Yankees manager, Girardi would be a great replacement.

Smart man. The Orioles are the worst team in baseball and it will take many years to bring them back to where they once were. This all thanks to their bird brained owner Peter Angelos. Girardi already was manager of a world champion team, the Florida Marlins, after it was dismantled by another not so smart owner. He lived through one nightmare, he certainly wasn't going to do it again. He is to young and talented to waste his years waiting for the Orioles to come back to respectability.
