Someone out of left field. Like Wakamatsu.

Seth Smith. That would be a literal answer of your question.

How about someone with actual coaching experience, not Ibanez or Wilson.

Watch your mouth, Wilson DOES have coaching experience. He’s currently the M’s coaching coordinator and was a part of the MLB staff towards the end of the season…

I think Dipoto is someone who wants to win. It isn’t the Mariners releasing those names–reporters are just guessing as usual.

Did Jack Z not care about winning in Seattle?

Jeff… Mike Redmond did have experience. He managed in the Blue Jays minor league system before being hired by the Marlins.

He never said Redmond didn’t have experience

Monitor had coaching experience — he was the hitting coach for the Mariners in 2004 and a coach for the Twins on a couple different occasions. A couple of extra examples of recently hiring managers with no experience would be Walt Weiss and Robin Ventura.

I hope Servais ends up in the front office and has something to do with consistent player development. The M’s can’t afford to “start over” with a manager with no experience. Tim Bogar seems like a better choice from that perspective, and if we can land them both, so much the better.

Why not? It worked for the St Louis Cardinals with Mike Matheny. A good manager is a good manager.

Everybody’s a first-time manager once.
