And I couldn't be happier. No official word yet, but the celebration is beginning in Arizona
Good riddance Bob!

Updated for anyone who cares- Former catcher A.J. Hinch will replace Bob Melvin. At 34 years of age, he becomes the youngest manager in MLB (I believe).

Ah, the former A's catcher? I remember him

well folks, it's official... I'm old. this realization hits you when you realize a player you distinctly remember as a rookie and collected cards of as a kid, not only retires, but becomes a MANAGER. AJ Hinch as manager? why do I ever remember this guy, anyways? a good player averages better stats in one year than he had in his entire illustrious eight year career (.219, 32HR, 112RBI, 209hits)

I'm 20 btw

If (or when) Hinch wears out his welcome, could a certain AAA manager be on the radar? Hmm, could be.

Man looks like Mark Grace can now finally manage that team :lol: :lol:
