I think he's learned from his experience in Florida and will have a group of coaches that will help him out throughout the season. I hope whoever the Yankees pick is gonna get the job done. I would for any of the 3 to have success. I just think the Yankees should go with him and change their style up a lil bit. The concentration of the organization is now on the youth and the pitching..I think Pena would be the next best choice for manager, I dont think Mattingly is ready. I could be wrong but I just dont see it in him to be the one answering the tough questions after a losing streak or team controversy or anything of that nature. Lets just hope the Yankee fans embrace the new manager and hope the new manager continues the winning ways..I think thats what we all want in the long run anyway.

Is he the best candidate? I don't know. First, he can be abrasive and I think his personality could be a problem in the New York media circus. Second, yes he has a relationship w/some of the Yankee veterans, but his managerial style may rub some of them the wrong way. Third, I think you have to wonder how he will get along with management in NY if he couldn't handle interference in Florida. Finally, the pitching. He was heavily criticized in Florida for overusing the young staff, and many of them turned up hurt in 2007. That comes back to Girardi's handling, and has to be a concern for the Yankees. I would like to see Mattingly get this opportunity. You might be right that Girardi will be the choice. Is he the best candidate? I don’t know.
