Phillies New Manager?
WagerWeb.com POSTS ODDS ON: "WHO WILL TAKE OVER FOR LARRY BOWA AS PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES' MANAGER FOR THE 2005 MLB SEASON?"
(Zapote, Costa Rica, 13 October 2004)-The sad verdict is in! Lovable players' Manager, Larry Bowa, is out as Phillies' manager after a truly disappointing season in Philadelphia.
The fans and the management of the team had very high expectations for the club, which ended up in 2nd place in the NL East with an 86-76 record, ten games behind division winner, Atlanta. For much of the early season the Phillies led the NL East and many even had then penciled in as division champs...way too early it appears.
Bowa was fired as soon as the season ended, and the Phillies have begun their search for a new skipper. Whoever takes over the job will still have a tremendously talented team to manage, and one that will most likely be favored to win the division next year...as many picked them to do this season. The question is this; will the Phillies go for a younger, inexperienced manager, or go for a home run and sign an experienced manager who might not be nearly as much a players' coach as Larry Bowa?
"The Phillies really had a disappointing season and a change at the top needed to happen," said Dave Johnson, CEO of WagerWeb.com. "Wagerweb.com sources, which are close to the Phillies, have confirmed that among the possible candidates already being considered are longtime Phillies' Hall of Famer, Mike Schmidt, as well as fired Mets' Manager, Art Howe. The biggest surprise is that the embattled Hall of Famer, Pete Rose, who has talked about his hopes of managing in MLB, is being mentioned as a possible candidate."
If the Phillies go the Rose route, it is a given that they would create much more controversy than they need after the season they just finished. What many forget is that Rose was a pretty good manager in Cincinnati and would be able to connect with the players, in both good times and bad, based on what Rose has gone through since being banned from baseball for breaking MLB's no betting rule. For Rose to get the managing job, MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig, would have to allow him back in baseball, and that is another sticky proposition.
Other names being mentioned are current Cubs' Manager, Dusty Baker, former Mets' Manager, Bobby Valentine, and current Tampa Devil Rays' Manager, Lou Pinella.
