Manuel Retained
According to MLB.com, Charlie Manuel is going to be retained by the Philadelphia Phillies. It is not a surprising move as Gillick has commended the job done by Manuel on numerous occasions. This is a smart move. No need to replace Manuel only a need to surround him with better coaches. This now allows Pat Gillick to move on the bigger issues of the off-season. These are the personnel moves that need to be made.

Dane, some good stuff here. I like the season in review alot. And look forward to the upcoming posts.
I think the Manual issue was determined long ago. Plus the Phils wouldn't want to pay 2 managers next year.

thanks, bob d. i understand why many fans dislike manuel but i think he connection to the players supcedes his weak in game strategy. the phillies need a strong bench coach to help with that part.
Dane- you know how I feel about Manuel, but at the same time I see your defense of him. I did a post on my blog today about the Phils keeping him and in true "Drama Queen" fashion I ranted, but if you really read what I'm saying, I truly understand that Manuel isn't as bad as I make him out to be.
yeah i understand your dislike but i can't keep from thinking he didn't have a huge impact on the development of Utley and Howard and should have a chance to see his contract through
