Why isn't Girardi on this list?

That didn't stop them from throwing Ken Macha's name up there.

Edit: Although now that I think about it, it's probably a level about A's management.

Anyone care to offer up their own "worst ten" list? I agree Maxim's list is silly, but I'm not sure that I could do much better.

It's easy to decide one's own manager sucks, but not as easy to say that about teams you don't see on a regular basis.

Beyond Dusty, it's almost impossible. Too many factors, too little information on internal decision making dynamics and politics. Even Girardi, who I think did a poor job with the Marlins, should share any blame for that with the GM. The GM did not want to hire him so how great was their relationship? What instructions did Beinfest actually give him? Win now? Push these young pitchers harder? If Girardi was doing something Beinfest didn't like, why wasn't he fired mid-season?

This year he will probably be pretty good because he'll have a GM that he respects (and who apparently respects him since he's his first choice) who is willing to give him intelligent guidelines that Girardi should be happy to implement.
