Yesterday Joe Girardi was the first candidate to be interviewed to be the Yankees new manager. today Don Mattingly goes and tomorrow it is Tony Pena's turn. The Yankees say that they are going to interview a couple of additional candidates but they have not said who they will be. One candidate was Trey Hillman who managed in the Yankee minor league system for 13 years but he just got hired by Kansas City. If it was up to me I would hire Mattingly, and not just because he is my all time favorite player. I think that if the Yankees were not going to bring back Joe Torre then Mattingly is the best choice for the job. He knows the organization, he knows how to deal with the media, he is beloved in the clubhouse and he learned under Joe Torre for 4 years. I realize that he does not have any managerial experience but the reason the Yankees moved him from hitting coach to bench coach after last seasons is to give him more time to learn from Torre.
