Minaya going for the first all-Hispanic major league franchise?

Seriously though, he's got the playing experience, the managing experience from making mistakes in an organization that would be an embarrassment if John McGraw was running the major-league team, as well as the willingness to look at new ideas instead of blindly following "the book" that was written by Frankie Frisch in 1936.

Any decent team that hires him is going to be making a good hire, no matter how much of an effect you believe the manager has.

I think the Orioles may be looking for a new manager after the season, and he's a guy we should be VERY interested in hiring if that is the case.
