Maddon interviews for M's job
Angels' bench coach Joe Maddon has interviewed for Seattle's vacant managerial position, according to the Seattle Times:
[Grady] Little, 54, who most recently was an assistant to Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry after taking the Boston Red Sox to the playoffs with 95 wins in 2003, reportedly met with Mariners officials Tuesday in Los Angeles, a dinner date that by all accounts left good impressions all around.
Seattle club officials also interviewed Joe Maddon, Anaheim's bench coach, but a source said they prefer someone with managerial experience in the major leagues. The Mariners, who are also believed to have met with Terry Collins, also are setting up meetings, or seeking permission to do so, with Don Baylor and Jimy Williams.
The Mariners also are interested in Buddy Bell, Jerry Manuel, Lee Elia and Mike Hargrove.
That's quite an exhaustive list. But no matter what the Times says about "experience", you just know that it's going to come down to Maddon and Collins, what with Bavasi at the helm.
And yes, this is what passes for "Angels news" these days.
