Phillies have a press conference scheduled for 2:30 today to announce they're parting ways with longtime manager Charlie Manuel. 9 yrs in Philly 780-636 NL East titles, 2009 NL Pennant & 2008 World Championship.
Andy Greenwald @andygreenwald Amaro says the next Phillies manager will need to "understand" what the front office is doing. This suggests a long, long search.

Yeah, and if you're using the "He's 19" logic, then I guess the best report a scout could give us is:
"I have no idea. He's a teenager. He may go through 5 arm surgeries between now and his 30th birthday. He may add a pitch. He may lose a pitch. He may put on 30 lbs and add velocity. He may put on 50 lbs and eat his way out of the league. I literally have no idea what he is going to be."
But thats not what these guys are paid to do, nor what we are looking for them to do, right?

They need to go young. This will buy the Mets some time.
They can't, they have too much money tied up in ancient players. This will buy the Mets more time. Look, the Phillies don't exactly have a storied history either, and I have a feeling that they're due for a long return to mediocrity.

Can't wait for the 2014 Phillies to be the first team without a manager.
