My Top Five Suggested Replacements for Trey Hillman
- Joe Torre. Is he ready to accept the ultimate challenge and massage the Royals into winners? Because he totally could.
- Bobby Valentine. The roller coaster saga of Joe Posnanski's enthusiasm followed by disillusionment makes this a no-brainer.
- Mike Sweeney. His faith makes him the near-perfect Dayton hire. His Baird-era connection makes him the perfect 2012 scapegoat. This Grass Creek double agent deserves a reward for his outstanding work.
- Tony Pena, Sr. Veteran leader Jason Kendall would give him plenty of clubhouse "slug," so this wouldn't just be about unintentional comedy. Okay, yes it would.
- Buddy Bell. He was right about at least one thing -- it can always get worse.
