Why doesn't Geren get more talk? He's a Zaidi guy.
"During his time with the Mets, Geren was praised for his 'statistical aptitude' and 'strong working knowledge of advanced analytics.' Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson also complimented Geren for being 'tuned into analytics.'"
And he's made the World Series four times as a bench coach.
Here's something for @HaSeongsRim:

"Everywhere the Dodgers travel, bench coach Bob Geren brings along his portable bicycle, biking through every city on the road."

Instead of Bochy, the Padres should hire Hensley Meulens. He was on Bochy's staff for all three World Series run, was his bench coach for two years and speaks Spanish, Japanese, Dutch and Papiamentu.
He's also the manager for Team Netherlands.
And I'm just going to say it. The Padres have been around for 50+ seasons and haven't had a full-time manager who was a POC since Preston Gomez. That needs to change.

Potential playoff managers and the coaching trees they belong to:

Baker: Too old
Bell: Sveum, Matheny
Boone: n/a
Cash: Francona
Cora: Hinch
Counsell: n/a
Kapler: n/a
Montoyo: Cash
La Russa: Too old
Roberts: Black
Shildt: Matheny
Snitker: Cox, González
Tingler (lol): Banister
So either a newcomer or someone from KC #letsgo
Grifol's actually an interesting candidate. No major league managing experience but he managed in the minors, has been a quality control and bench coach in the majors and is noted for building strong connections with Latin American players.

The preoccupation with an experienced manager is concerning. Plenty of first time managers have been able to command respect, and plenty of experienced managers haven't.
Plus, how many experienced managers are going to be interested in listening to the analytics department and also developing young players? Seems like they could easily create (well, continue) new problems while solving the respect one.
Here's all the experienced managers I could find who've interviewed for a new job recently: Ausmus, Farrell, Gibbons, Scioscia, Showalter, Washington.

You can also add Bochy, who's been rumored to have interest, and Guillen, who has stated interest.
