I’d think anything less than a World Series appearance would cost Mattingly his job.

Someone may want to tell Dipoto that the 6 teams with the best records in baseball also happen to be the 6 teams with the largest “analytics” staffs. Coincidence? Not.

I think that you would have a very hard time coming up with those headcounts.

Maybe in the FO, but not their managers, their managers have a healthy balance of both old school and new school trains of thought, which Dipoto is looking for in a manager.

I don’t understand why Girardi’s job wouldn’t be safe. He’s one of the top 3 in the game right now.

Because fans need someone to blame. He didn’t have a good month of September managing, he made some oddball moves at times, but I trust him to handle this team and media better than anyone else. Not his fault we didn’t have any middle relief for him to go to late in the season or Shreve completely fell off a cliff.

Let’s be honest Yankee fans, anything less than a WS and our manager will be questioned. It’s the Yankee way. Personally, I’ve never been a huge fan of Joe G. I recognize that I have a bias against him. But let’s be real here, look at the team, it wasn’t good. Joe G actually got us to the playoffs dispite all the Injuries, old age, and noobs.
some things to consider:
1- We had to keep chris capuano on speed dial.
2- Only chase headley, Gardner, and Didi had more than 525 at
bats…
3 – our rotation was comprised of a fading star (CC), an injured sophomore (tanaka), a work in progress (evoldi), a michael pineda (Pineda), a 4-5 coming off tjs (nova), and a 21 year old lottery ticket (Severino). Coming into the season, only cc had made more than 100 starts.
4 – the injuries/missed games/old age of Beltran, tex, and Ells, coupled with the lack of an every day 2b and the need to rest McCann meant that girardi had to rely on the 4th and 5th Ofs, Steven drew, and a back up catcher with around 100 mlb at bats.
That doesn’t seem like recipe for a run at the division title or a playoff berth. We could easily have been at the bottom of the division.

Mattingly isn’t a good manager with an unlimited payroll. How exactly will he be a good manager while searching the couch cushions for dimes in Miami?
