Recently, manager (and former mustache aficionado) Eric Wedge declined to rejoin the Seattle Mariners for the 2014 season. This left the team with a managerial opening. The point of this post is to wildly speculate on some people I might like to see as Seattle Mariners manager next year - that is not to say any of these names are remotely possible. Actually, I want to see a super aggressive small ball manager (hit and run, stolen bases, etc - not this saber metric bore you to death crap).
I see the Mariners as being in a "Lefebvre Believer" scenario. If you don't know (and you probably don't) Jim Lefebvre was the manager the first season the M's breached the .500 winning percent mark (in 1991, their 15th season of existence). I expect the GM's job to be .500 in 2014 or have fun looking for a new job. I expect the manager to get a two year contract (it is a nice audition with very little risk for a potential candidate). Wild speculated names below
Some totally real names, with made up chances to be the manager:
* Scott Bradley
* Dale Sveum
* Bryan Price
* Jim Lefebvre (why not)
* Dan Wilson
* Chris Snelling (could be interesting, probably wouldn't get injured so much)
* Mickey Hatcher
* Dave Brundage
* Willie Bloomquist (player/manager)
