A-rod marketing value tarnished by off the field reports--Ken Davidoff
Ken says the World Baseball Classic, Inc. won't be breaking down A-rod's door this year if he keeps them hanging. Don't expect another call from Selig begging him to join:
- (Newsday): "...this hasn't received much attention, but apparently he divorced his wife and is involved with Madonna.
- He's less attractive as a marketing tool, therefore.
- Davidoff thinks Davey Johnson would be a better manager for USA WBC team:
- Johnson, who of course led the Mets to their last World Series victory in 1986, lacks Martinez's media-friendly nature. Yet he's a far more accomplished manager than Martinez."...
- (Newsday): "The Pirates' hiring of Joe Kerrigan as their pitching coach raised some eyebrows. "Didn't they ask around about this guy?" one industry insider asked. While Kerrigan is regarded as intelligent,
- he also is thought sneaky and selfish."
- (Newsday): "Rich Monteleone, let go by the Yankees as their special pitching instructor, has been informed by the club that he won't get a job at their minor-league complex. Before his elevation to bullpen coach in 2002, he worked with the Yankees' minor-league pitchers."
