I get the feeling that Melvin might be waiting to bring Maddux back as manager. That is why there has really been no real serious discussion at this point. He brings his brother in as pitching coach and Sveum stays as batting coach.

I seriously doubt this.

While there is zero chance of this happening, I (a die-hard Cubs fan) would cheer for a Maddux/Maddux led organization.

EDIT: I think the Brewers best option is Bob Brenly. I wish the Cubs would have got him but he already removed his name from the list.

When was the last time a pitching coach became a manager?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I seriously do not know. It just seems like it is very rare.

Pat Listach got an interview, as did Joey Cora...which suprises me because Melvin seemed like he wanted someone with experience.

Well unless things have changed in the past couple months Maddux wouldn't have to find a new house in Milwaukee...

You actually think Greg would be a pitching coach for Mike?

GGGG · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2010, 10:49:04 AM »

That was more speculation on my part granted. My main point is that he may want Maddux back. He doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry, the pitching staff has sucked since he left, and he clearly *liked* Maddux and wanted him to stay here.

The Listach and Cora interviews IMO were made mostly to satisfy the affirmative action requirements.

Brewers should hire Ryne Sandberg, I hear he's free.

Blue Horseshoe · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2010, 03:38:50 PM »

Please, TAKE BRENLY. He hurts my ears.

What about Bob Brenly hurts your ears? He's a great color guy who can teach you a lot about the game.

Ron Paul · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2010, 03:49:48 PM »

After all of these interviews my money is on Melvin bringing good ole Ken Macha back in for another round. Maybe Tom Treblehorn, Phil Garner, Davey Lopes, Jerry Royster, Ned Yost, etc. would still be interested. Who cares who they hire, there is no way the guy can be worse than that list.

I miss Steve Stone on the north side. He is the best in the business.

No way does a team fire it's manager and immediately bring them back as the next coach.

Ron Paul · « **Reply #15 on:** October 19, 2010, 04:30:23 PM »

Should've put it in teal, just referring to Melvin's undying love for Macha. I guess my point is, it doesn't matter if they don't have the pitching to support the manager.

Wrong.

Prove it.

I'm not talking about a Vin Skully, Ernie Harwell, Jack Buck, Harry Carray, or Bob Uecker. Those guys are legends.

George Bamberger was promoted by the Brewers from pitching coach to Manager and Bambi's Bombers were born.

My wife and I went along on a boat tour of Pewaukee Lake a couple months ago and if I remember right, the guy providing the "tour" said Maddux had recently sold his house. More impressive house than Suppan's a couple doors down which surprised me. Not as impressive as Braun's on the other side of the lake though. All significantly more impressive than my house!

I gotcha. Didn't they play minor league ball together?

Toronto just signed the Red Sox picthing coach John Farrell as manager today according to Peter Gammons.
