大意： 1. 預期 Joe Girardi會在今天接任洋基教頭 2. 這表示 Mattingly 大概會離開洋基了 3. Pena和打教Kevin Long 應該會繼續留下來，Mariners有邀請Bowa去加入他們教 練團，但他目前還沒決定 4. Ron Guidry大概也是再會了… THE JOURNAL NEWS http://www.nyjournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071029/ SPORTS01/710290387/1034/SPORTS By PETER ABRAHAM The Yankees plan to have their next manager in place by tomorrow and indications last night were that Joe Girardi would be selected to replace Joe Torre. General manager Brian Cashman refused comment. But people familiar with his thinking said Girardi would be his choice instead of Don Mattingly or Tony Pena. The 43-year-old Girardi played four seasons for the Yankees, was Torre's bench coach in 2005 and in 2006 managed the Florida Marlins. He led the Marlins to 78 victories and was named National League manager of the year. But Girardi was fired because of disputes with team management. Cashman is believed to have made his recommendation to the Steinbrenner family yesterday. If they approve - and every in dication is they will endorse any selection made - a contract will be swiftly negotiated. An announcement is expected no later than tomorrow at Yankee Stadium. One potential roadblock could be the affinity team owner George Steinbrenner has for Mattingly, a former team captain. But with the 77-year-old Steinbrenner in decline, his sons have assumed control of the organization. Hal Steinbrenner has focused on the business side, his brother Hank on baseball operations. Hank Steinbrenner said last week that he and Cashman favor the same candidate. Mattingly was considered the front-runner at the start of the process. But Cashman has long admired Girardi's approach and philosophies. If the Yankees hire Girardi, it could mean an end to Mattingly's association with the team. A star player for 14 seasons, Mattingly became a spring-training instructor before accepting a position on Torre's staff before the 2004 season. Mattingly said that last week that he became a coach with an eye on managing. Retaining him in some capacity would indicate a lack of faith in Girardi. Pena has said he would be willing to return as a coach, and it is likely he will have a spot on the staff of whoever manages next season. The Yankee coaches' contracts expire on Wednesday. Along with Pena, the organization hopes to retain hitting coach Kevin Long. Third-base coach Larry Bowa has an offer from Seattle but delayed a decision in hopes of returning to the Yankees. Pitching coach Ron Guidry is likely to be replaced. The same is probably true of bullpen coach Joe Kerrigan. --
