If all those guys are out there I'd want Girardi.
No interest at all in Trammell or Valentine. It would be hard to be upset with Torre or Cox, but I don't think they would fit the best with the direction this team is going. I really would be shocked if Girardi would be willing to leave NY for this mess at this time. And I just don't think Ryne is ready, the minor league experience is great and really shows his dedication but I want him to get some time first hand next to a proven manager before we hand the job over to him. I think the most realistic scenario is bringing in Brenly for 3-4 years with Ryne on the staff. Let Bob oversee the transition as the team sheds the dead weight over the next couple of years, and hopefully after a couple of seasons the team has some more payroll flexibility and a nice core group of players has come through the farm system. Then we can either keep Brenly on if he has worked out well, promote Ryne, or possibly can convince Girardi that after a few more successfull season and probably another title he has won all he can win in NY and he should come back home to Chicago.
