New manager of the San Diego Padres, Craig Stammon, relief pitcher, not that long ago, is now the new manager of uh of the Padres here. Wow, like I, I thought the pools thing would have been strange. This is even stranger, not a lot of experiences from what I'm understanding here, uh, Jack, but I will give the guy credit. He was a really good relief pitcher, uh, for a long time. Before we get to that, I want to show you this clip on how, uh, AJ Preller got him to take the gig. Yeah, the process was, uh, was AJ was very coy about it in the beginning, and I think he's been very understanding of my family situation, how important they are in this process, and even that was a big part of being a special assistant the last couple of years, uh, is him understanding that situation and so he was always like probing a little bit like, would you like to do more? Would you like to be a part of the front office a little bit more? Would you like to be, you know, have a little bit more, would you be like to be a part of the coaching staff? And so I always knew, and he's articulated that to me, you know, several times of, of what he thinks of me and how he thought I could be successful in some of the leadership roles within the team, um, so he was very coy about the beginning and then we kind of got through the interview process a little at the beginning of it and then he put the, the sales kibosh on me and said, you know, I really want you to be a part of this process. I want you to think about being the manager of the Padres. I really like this guy, but I'm gonna say this. You got a college baseball coach managing. You got a guy who was a special assistant, Jack, I'm thinking a host on Sports Grid is the next manager. So me or you, we got a shot. I mean, the more this happens, I think we got a shot at getting some big gig here. I mean, how do you figure this one out? I mean, I'm left field, another one that's just way off the grid. I had no idea that this was coming. Now, let me ask you, do you feel like you could manage a bullpen particularly well? You get into July, August, do you feel like your bullpen management is OK? I, I mean, I've, look, I'm very good at hitting the ice cream thing, pulling it down. It goes in. I mean, what, what other experience do I need? No doubt. I think you're good. Uh, yeah, not to mention a 33 year old in Blake Buttero was just hired as the manager of the Washington Nationals as well. So you've got a 33-year old, you've got Craig Steman, who's a reliever and a front office member, uh, an assistant to the general manager. And you also have, uh, yeah, Tony Vitalo in San Francisco, the college coach who doesn't have a lick of professional baseball experience stepping into a managerial role. I, I think what you're seeing now, as we start to transition in this era of manager is you want to communicate with people, and you want to communicator with professional athletes. Is it a matter of Xs and O's and strategies? I don't know. We'll see how well the Cubs do over this eight-year deal for Craig, uh, for Craig Council, but like, That is the strategist, the Xs and O's guy when it comes to baseball managers. Now, I think they want Tony Vitello, who is a recruiter, who is a program builder, a guy that can build a culture in San Francisco. Blake Butera, 33 years old, he's gonna be managing guys in Washington that are older than him. Staman is gonna be managing guys that he played with over the course of his playing career. So, I feel like you're going a different way and you're almost going to a vibe curator in that role. And you want somebody to control the vibe in that clubhouse and make sure it's a positive environment. And guys are getting along. Guys are, you know, having fun. They're building towards this greater good as one unit. So, I don't know. I, I thought it was an interesting thing. It also, you know, seems pretty interesting to me, the, the timeline of events that AJ Preller was kind of pursuing Craig Stammon, because he was interviewing candidates and then all of a sudden it turned into, well, maybe I should just interview for this job as well. And AJ Preller was pushing him to do that. I am fascinated though. Albert Poolhols was a candidate for what, 3 different openings. It was Anaheim for a minute, and it was Baltimore, and then it was San Diego. He didn't get any of them. I, I just wonder if like he is that future manager in waiting that everybody wants to call him. Um, it seems like he would have had an opportunity and that he would have jumped to St. Louis when that eventually does open up. Now it seems a little bit more Yy Molina than Albert Puhols to me.
