The Managers of the Year were announced earlier today and Squawker Lisa and I just competed in a trivia contest , so here's a trivia question: Who won the American League Manager of the Year in 2000 and who finished second? And who did they beat out? Before I give the answers, Lisa and I had a great time at the trivia contest, which was run by our fellow blogger The Omnipotent Q of the Mighty Quinn...

Stop the presses! The Mets have hired Dave Jauss as their bench coach for 2010! I can envision people dancing in the streets upon hearing this extraordinary news. Seriously, though, it’s an interesting choice. Clearly, Jauss is Jerry Manuel’s choice — Manuel hired Jauss as a minor league manager while serving as Field Coordinator for the Expos [...]

Meet the Mets Bart Hubbuch writes that Wally Backman would be the logical heir to Jerry Manuel should the Mets dump their manager mid-season. Jason Fry is a little hesitant to take that risk . At this point, I can see the Mets going with Backman to appease the grission crowd, but it would be odd to jump over a candidate like Tim Teufel who has been a loyal, competent, and controversy-free manager in...

Part of being a modern baseball fan is learning to be rational. Instead of instinctively praising grit and hustle and a dirty uniform, you look at the numbers behind the cloud of dust. Instead of automatically praising or bemoaning a move on the field or in the dugout or in the front office, you try to understand it as part of an overall strategy and as a business decision. I’ve tried this, with...

Early reports are indicating that the Mets have selected Dave Jauss as their bench coach. Jauss was selected over several others prospects who were former major league managers. It's unknown whether those perspective coaches declined the position due to the tentative nature of the managers position or whether management didn't want to undermine Jerry Manuel. While he's not a ready made manager in waiting...

The Mets still haven't settled their coaching staff, originally it was reported that Razor Shines would no longer be the 3B coach but he'd have a role somewhere on the team. But with Alomar Jr. moving to 1B, Chip Hale coming in at 3B and the Mets apparently seeking a new bench coach, that leaves Shines as the fifth coach which is usually the catching coach for teams that carry five. If Shines gets...

Hale, 44, was third-base coach for the D’Backs, and was Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year in 2005.

The spirit of the 2009 Mets lives on in the Tennessee Titans, who were expected to contend this year but are now 0-6 after getting humiliated by the Patriots, 59-0. Many observers thought that the Titans appeared to give up against New England. But Titans coach Jeff Fisher has an odd way of bringing the winning spirit back to Tennessee. Fisher appeared in public Tuesday wearing an Indianapolis Colts...

Joe Girardi's bizarre bullpen move in the 11th inning tonight reminded me of something that Jerry Manuel did way back in April. On April 29, the Mets were trailing the Marlins, 4-3, when they loaded the bases with two outs in the bottome of the ninth. Ramon Castro was coming up. Then Jerry Manuel pinch-hit Omir Santos for Castro. A righthanded catcher pinch-hitting for another righthanded catcher....
