Help wanted: Experienced big-league manager

Published Oct. 19, 2008 at 1:03 p.m.

Doug Melvin likes Dale Sveum. So did owner Mark Attanasio and the players. Despite a 7-5 finish and the franchise's first playoff berth since 1982, Melvin opted not to bring Sveum back as skipper in 2009 and is instead hoping to lure a manager with successful big-league experience.

The Brewers announced a trio of moves tonight. They gave general manager Doug Melvin a three-year contract extension that will keep him in Milwaukee through 2012, removed Dale Sveum from consideration for the manager's job and dismissed hitting coach Jim Skaalen. Melvin continues his search for a manager and experience could be a key factor in the decision.

Yost firing was good move, just 150 games too late

Published Sept. 16, 2008 at 12:54 a.m.

I gave up on Ned Yost a year ago. Unfortunately, Mark Attanasio didn't until today. Firing a manager of a team that is 16 games over .500, on Sept. 15, and technically is still eligible for the playoffs (right now, anyway) is weird.
