if beane gets the job he'll likely hire a broken down, old failure. someone who's got no dignity left, a broken man with no dreams or illusions of being even a respected name. someone who will do whatever he's told so that he can eat that day. and that's who i want. Not sure if srs, but I think the reputation of Beane managers is grossly overstated. I think he'd go for a Girardi/Francona type, capable of working with him like those guys with their FOs, and a high end on field/in game manager who has similar philosophies to the GM.
