Former Brewers manager Ned Yost is interviewing with the Houston Astros about their managerial opening. He was the Brewers manager for almost six seasons, being fired with just a few games to go leading up to the Brewers' 2008 playoff appearance. Yost is one of ten being considered in an interview process that is being held publicly. Candidates meet with team officials, and then immedialtey speak with the press. Yost has been entirely silent since his dismissal except for one brief interview shortly following the firing. He made a few comments about his time with the Brewers, and I'll say it, he sounded kind of angsty. What did he learn in Milwaukee? "Don't lose 10 out of 13 games is the best thing I can figure," Yost told reporters in Houston, "and hope your offense stays on track so you don't struggle to score runs." Unfortunately for Houston he apparently didn't learn how to manage a bullpen. Other former big league managers up for the post include Bob Melvin (D'Backs) and Manny Acta (Nationals). From the list I'd personally take Melvin, he had some nice years with the Snakes.
Arbitration next, maybe tonight or tomorrow.
Have fun with the start of the NLCS. Brew Up.
