The Padres announced that they have signed former big leaguer Craig Stammen to a three-year deal to serve as their new manager. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Stammen’s hiring prior to the official announcement.

Very interesting hire. On the surface, it seems like a safe and controllable hire.

It seems Pujols is not as attractive as a manager as many of the bfibs believe…

It seems you're a troll

Heard right after hiring , Pujols is suing padres for $22M
For ‘cruel and unusual’ interview process.
Think his 2 nd interview went 9+ hours and he had to bring breakfast, lunch, dinner ? According to a tweet he put out.

This should make for some banter.

to bad Pistol Pete Reiser isn't alive and could have coached with the Stammen

Imagine what might have grown from that confab

Neither he or Molina are. They will not accept the restraints placed on today’s managers. They will not show the proper deference to the FO staff, especially the geeks. Does that mean they reject analytics? Of course not. However, THEY want to decide how they’re used. Do GM’s only want yes men? Not, per se. They want managers who know, and stay, in their place. That won’t be Pujols or Molina
