Let's hope this managerial change doesn't mess up our draft the way the last one did. lol

I sure hope they find the right guy. Firing and/or keeping managers is definitely Daniels' weakness.
And who wants to take a team with a few more years of rebuilding? Maybe someone hungry and young.

He's hired two, and both took the Rangers to the postseason. So I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there.

That's okay.

His team building was a very strong suit back 10 years ago or so. It was so strong it overcame his weakest suit.

His hiring of Banny was fine, but since he has only hired two managers his first big mistake still makes it weak overall. A good hire here would help in that regard.

I would have liked to have seen what Banny could have done with a really talented team.

I think he will have a good career as a manager before it is all said and done.

I hope the whiny players are out of here soon whoever they are. Or maybe they will grow up.

Wash.

It kind of had to be Wash since he has only hired two managers. lol

Where there is smoke there is fire.

Very late to this party if you can call it a party

Word from DMN is communication issues. Comes on too strong. Probably in my genes too

I really wish so many Rangers fans didn't immediately run to "fire JD!"

I will say though that hiring Wash wasn't nearly as much of a mistake as it was in keeping him when he proved to be such an inept in-game manager.

I expect our ownership could find a whole lot worse to hire in his place. People don't understand what they are asking for.

What Jeff Banister got wrong as Rangers manager

Key point from this article:

"Joe Girardi won a World Series and never had a losing season in New York. He was 20 games over .500 last year. Fired anyway.

Reason?

"Connectivity and communication" issues, as the Yankees' general manager, Brian Cashman, put it."

It does get old that old Nolan contingent
I don't want him fired, but those who do could completely forget about Nolan and still have some beefs with JD. He has made mistakes before Nolan left and since.

I wonder if Tim Bogar will get any consideration.
