2011-11-15 13:00:00	Easy, obvious one to get you started. What's your opinion on Mike Matheny as TLR replacement in St. Louis? (Bill from New Mexico)	Well, I’m not sure if any managerial choice evaluation is easy or obvious, especially for a guy who has zero prior managing experience, but I don’t think Matheny is necessarily a bad choice. Yes, there’s the experience thing, but he is well-liked within the organization, by fans, and by the players, which is important. He’s also a former catcher with a high baseball IQ. Whether or not he’ll make the kinds of moves we sabermetric types like to see from a manager is yet to be seen. Former player types generally don’t tend to, but it’s not as if the MLB managerial bar is set super high in this regard. Mozeliak said he’ll talk with him and provide him with important data to help him make decisions, so I think Matheny will be a good enough choice. The one drawback you could maybe point to is that Albert Pujols reportedly would have preferred Oquendo, though making a managerial decision based on one player—especially one you could lose anyway—probably isn’t good policy. (Derek Carty)
