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.
It should be noted that there's a difference between inexperienced: had been a farm director or whatever Tingler was and inexperienced: ten seasons on the bench for a HOF manager who won three World Series.
Also, and because I know it's important to some people, Meulens is 6'4".
