标题[外电] MAZZONE OUT THERE IF GUIDRY GOES

October 13, 2007 -- Ron Guidry doesn't have a contract with the Yankees for
next year, and now one of the most respected pitching coaches in baseball is
on the market after Leo Mazzone was let go by the Orioles yesterday.
However, before Guidry's detractors jump to the conclusion that Mazzone would
be an upgrade, remember how angry George Steinbrenner was after the 2005
season when The Boss believed Mazzone sent word to the Yankees he was
interested in working for them after leaving Atlanta.
Vice president of player personnel Billy Connors recommended Mazzone to the
Boss, then watched Mazzone join longtime friend Sam Perlozzo's Baltimore
staff. Steinbrenner believed Mazzone used the Yankees to get more money from
the Orioles.
Yet Steinbrenner has allowed GM Brian Cashman to hire coaches recently and
may accept Mazzone if Cashman recommends the soon-to-be 59-year-old. However,
Cashman's history is to promote from within. He did that last year when Don
Mattingly went from hitting coach to bench coach and Kevin Long was promoted
from Triple-A to be big league hitting coach.
If a move is made with Guidry, Cashman could install Dave Eiland as pitching
coach. Eiland, who worked with Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy
at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was with the Yankees for the final month
of the season. If Eiland doesn't get the job, he could replace Joe Kerrigan
as bullpen coach.
Any movement on the coaching staff has to wait until Joe Torre's fate is
determined early next week in Tampa, Fla.
Mazzone, who was credited with molding Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John
Smoltz into Cy Young Award winners in Atlanta, didn't come close to that
success in Baltimore. However, Erik Bedard and Jeremy Guthrie improved under
Mazzone, who had one year left on his contract. Perlozzo was fired in June.

Bobby Abreu cleaned out his Yankee Stadium locker yesterday. The club holds a
$16 million option on the right fielder and No. 3 hitter, and no decision has
been made.
