Astros Managerial Search Update

The Astros are more than halfway through their first round of interviews for their open manager position, so here are a few of the items stemming from their search.

• Bob Melvin cited his experience at winning with both younger and older rosters in his interview for the Astros managerial job today, reports Jose De Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle.  
• Meanwhile, San Diego batting coach Randy Ready (who interviewed for the same Astros job on Thursday) may not have the experience of some of the other Astros managerial candidates, but he argues that every manager "had to get a start somewhere".
• Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports that former Astros skipper Garner originally contracted the team not in search of a job, but rather to endorse fellow candidate Bob Melvin.
• Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle believes the Astros have so many intriguing candidates that they should hire three of them.
