You're Sandy Alderson, and for the first time in over four months, you're feeling kind of good about being Sandy Alderson. Well, there was a few moments after the AJ Ramos deal you felt OK, but that was just OK. But your team has seemingly cut a deal to acquired the Syracuse International League franchise, putting to bed a problem of trading one bad affiliate for another that's been going on since before your arrival. You're getting some good ink. Jeff F. Wilpon is getting some good ink, and you're feeling like you can come out in the daytime a little. You're feeling so good that you're ready to have at that list. One hundred and seventy-four names! Now expanded to 175 with the addition of John Farrell. And you just go at it. Hacking and slashing, with the advice of the Crane Pool, and you get the list down to a more manageable 40 guys. How do you narrow it down now? Well, you divide it into four groups of 10, trying to pick the class of each group. You look at the first. Which three guys do you want to call in for an interview?

This is the one group that could use a few votes.

Gardenhire deserves another shot.

Edgy MD Oct 16 2017 01:24 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

Yeah, but who will break that five-way tie for third?!

Edgy MD Oct 16 2017 06:50 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

One more vote ...

Ashie62 Oct 16 2017 07:16 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

Bogar and Jorgensen.

Edgy MD Oct 16 2017 07:34 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

That's just cruel.

Edgy MD Oct 16 2017 10:31 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

Wow, Red Schoendienst wins the tiebreaker! We're getting some old soldiers into the Round of 12!

Lefty Specialist Oct 18 2017 07:40 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

Ausmus rejected US.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 18 2017 07:42 PM Re: TCK Sanitary Sox Presents Find Us a Manager (Rd. 2, Grou

I know! I'm certainly not voting for that ugly bastard in the next round.
