The Yankees officially offered their managerial job to Joe Girardi Monday morning and he is expected to accept it, a source has told 1050 ESPN New York's Andrew Marchand. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told Don Mattingly and Tony Pena that they will not be getting the job.
Girardi was in the Denver for the World Series. A source said he is expected to fly to New York for the announcement, which is likely to come Tuesday. Girardi's contract is expect to be in the three-year, $6 million range.
Mattingly will not accept a position on the Yankees coaching staff, Marchand and ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney are reporting. -
Mattingly gone is a huge lossComment

Lovey, so what has he won for him to be called a proven winner? Last time I checked his fingers are 'bling free'.....Originally posted by The LovedocThree Jack's Record http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/sh...10#post1323910Comment

He didn't win as a player and the Yanks haven't won since Zim came off the bench, so I have to disagreeOriginally posted by The Lovedoc2012 - 2013 NCAAF

I think Mattingly would have been a poor choice...actually, I think they sort of screwed themselves with Torre as the alternatives are meek! They guy has never made a pitching change and you want to trust him with these young guns?Three Jack's Record http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/sh...10#post1323910Comment

Mattingly may not have rings, but what he has is the respect of all the players. If I was hiring, this would be the guy to go to.Originally posted by Three Jack
Girardi had his share of problems with the front office in Florida his year there. How in the world does he think he is going to pull that crap with the Yanks?? The pressure in NY is a million times worse than managing a loser in FL.He who wears diaper knows his shit - ConfuciusComment

I agree with your comments about Girardi...I think there pool of 'talent' for the Managerial job was very mediocre at best. Frankly, I don't like Randolph at all, but I would take him before any of these three candidates coaching my fave team any day.Originally posted by insidethe8thpolThree Jack's Record http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/sh...10#post1323910Comment

Both are poor choices. Girardi will have a young pitching staff and although a catcher had some issues managing a young Florida staff, in fact some people blame Girardi for ruining Johnsons shoulder in Florida. Mattingly showed no clue in the game which he subbed for Torre. He has little to no experience.
That being said, and has been said above, the pool for managing candidates was very weak, so take a shot with either and hope for the best2012 - 2013 NCAAF

I think the only way they could have held the FA's and clubhouse together would have been to go with Don and they didn't!Originally posted by kbsooner21
