I like the choice .  Of course I’ll watch the games regardless

I think OF has disguised himself as Mick. 

Mick is generally one of the more positive Giants observers.  His antipathy towards Melvin is rather surprising.  

Melvin is exactly what is needed at this time - his demeanor is Bochy-like - a solid, calm, highly respected manager (not coach! - a pet peeve of mine) who will lead SF back to contention.  

92 wins?  Why not?  Heck, I am more excited about the team’s prospects today than at any point over the last six years.  Now it is time to bring in some free agents and make some trades (SF needs an immediate infusion of talent and that may require giving up some highly regarded prospects).

Welcome home, Bob Melvin……….

Dieter Kurtenbach of the Mercury News says "The Giants couldn't have done better than Melvin in this managerial search."

It's also reported that Matt Williams (who spent 10 seasons with the Giants from 1987 to 1996) is in consideration for other roles as is Ryan Vogelson and Pat the Bat Burrell. Only Kai Correa and hitting coach Justin Viele are under contract. Nakken and Hallberg are not. And supposedly Andrew Bailey wants to move closer to his family on the east coast. Might also be interesting to have Steven Vogt as bench coach and heir apparent to Melvin. Melvin is considered a serious candidate for the Cleveland Guardians' job.
