Why? Are you kidding me? He managed a team with a $14 million dollar payroll, and had them in contention for the wild card untill the last 2 weeks in the season. Everyone predicted the marlins to lose over 100 games this year. The team didn't have a winning season, had some of the best young talent in baseball and he was responsible for sending one of their best young pitchers out after a long rain delay. The pitcher then had a season ending arm injury in the same game. He is infatuated with the sac bunt, made poor personnel decisions at the begining of the year and was told to make changes. I don't see any reason why the cubs better pick him. :shock: The Marlins were the first team in major league baseball history to be 20 games under .500, and later whould go on to be over .500 in the same seaon. Girardi is a leader. BTW, sac bunts are part of the game. Its called team baseball. Who's to say the 20-games-under team wasn't caused by Girardi as opposed to the team that caught fire?* * - I'm a proponent of Girardi as manager, just asking the tough questions. Sac bunts are stupid baseball probably 90+ percent of the time they're made. 2005 Whitesox. Worked out pretty well for them . No. 200 home runs, fantastic pitching, lucky breaks and about 15 players having career years at once. They won in spite of that Ozzieball crap.
