It also appears he has the same bullpen management weaknesses as Matheny, but with better options:

It could be, but the fact that Shildt is the interim manager and not Oquendo at least makes me wonder what the brass thinks about him as the man.ghostrunner wrote:I think Oquendo should get it if he wants it.

Nope, he is significantly better at managing a bullpen than Matheny.MrCrowesGarden wrote: It also appears he has the same bullpen management weaknesses as Matheny, but with better options:

My feelings on Girardi are simply based on watching plenty of Yankees games during his tenure. Glad to see this article back up what my eyes tell me.
