Please, no.

Yet you want a guy like Matheny? Why would that be? Was is it specifically about Kapler that you dont like?

If Zaidi wants someone he knows dont be surprised if Kapler at least gets an interview. He has experience now, uses analytics which Farhan likes, and worked in the Dodgers organization for a few years.

I could be wrong but I just dont think the Giants are going to hire old school guys like Showalter, Maddon, or Girardi.

I agree it won't be an old school guy. If Kapler has learned from his mistakes that would be reassuring.
Idk, it was publicly known at the beginning of the year Hell and last year too that not a lot of his players respected him. Santana being the most outspoken about it.
He seems too much of a wildcard to man our bench. Maybe he just rubs me the wrong way
Everyone makes mistakes and most learn and grow from them. Hopefully he has.
He is a Farhan guy indeed and will get a look I'm sure.
I'm all for an under the radar guy.

Dodger fans were all running over a Kershaw jersey leaving the parking lot. Stay classy.

I'd gladly take Dave Roberts if he was made available. Dodgers axe him and quickly swoop in on Maddon before the Angels can

Celebrating today like we just won. Petty I know, but who cares.

that's good. Kinda feel bad for the guy.

I just don't like Kapler - much rather go after the former Giant.

In Zaidi we trust

Yup. I believe he will hire the right guy for our situation. Young, good communicator, uses analytics, and has some experience either as a manager or in front office.

Kershaw is there greatest pitcher of my lifetime. Can't believe how trash he is in the postseason.

Postseason wins during this decade:
#SFGiants - 36

Preparing myself that it's probably going to be Kepler. Farhan is really high on him.
