    after googling the four remaining openings, the best hope I can give you is the milwaukee journal sentinel had donnie listed with seven other “bench coaches with managerial experience.”

    Not looking good. Hate the Astros but the best shot for any manager to make the playoffs. Brewers are in an easier division so that would be my 2nd. I like the Angels so wouldn't mind him going there. And then the Padres. 

    But since the Cubs just shocked everyone an fired Ross out of the blue. Here's hoping the Yankees do the same

    Best shot he has I guess is if the Blue Jays get off to a bad start. Then he can maybe take over. Unless they promote grounds crew guy over him

    When it is all said and done, I think we call agree that Preston Mattingly will go down in history as having a much bigger impact on the sport of baseball than any other Mattingly that has ever lived.

    If I knew the Cubs were looking. I would have liked for Donnie to go there. Imagine Eddie and Don on the phone discussing the lineups

    That Joe Torre quote above is really noteworthy. Donnie apparently played with an "edge."

    AN edge.....however, you're right. Joe was not clear. Perhaps we can get a link to the full quote.

    Well he isn't getting any of the vacant jobs. He'll just continue to get blamed for the Blue Jays even though he isn't the manager
