I'm not sure what to make of all this. Is McClendon in the running?

I thought that Ron Gardenhire wasn't going to finish the rebuild of the Tigers. I thought he was done last year kinda surprised that he didn't retire last year.

He is very concerned for his health; he made that clear from the get go.

Yes, I do think McClendon has a real chance of being the Tigers' next skipper. They're cheap. He's already on staff. He has managerial experience with the Mariners and at the AAA level with Toledo. Would be analogous (in some respects) to the Wings promoting Blashill from G.R. to the parent organization several years back.
Blashill was a hot commodity and hiring him was the move EVERYONE wanted. Its not really his fault he's been stuck with Holland's horrible roster management for most of his time here.

Besides, he's a charter member of Leyland's Pittsburgh connection. Yes, the old skipper still has pull in the organization.

Holly Horning's blog from yesterday (Sept. 21) more than just suggests it wasn't Gardy's decision to retire! :shock:

Gardenhire wasn't a winner anyways. McClendon had very little firepower in the Mariners team he was given. Why not? He's better than Assmus at least.

McClendon failed with Pittsburgh, failed with Seattle, heck, failed with the Mud Hens. Other than being animated when thrown out of games, he offers nothing. I’d rather have an up and coming minor league manager over yet another retread.
