Default John Gibbons named as Jays manager

WHAT?!...........lol I did not see this coming.

I will say this, it'll be nice to have a manager that will go to bat for his players. That was the biggest thing that irritated me about Farrell. Gibbons has no reservations about telling the umpires just how he feels.

Is this official? Really surprising but this guy was probably my favourite Jays manager over the years.

He finally has a team that can contend in his hands.

Seems like it's official: http://www.torontosun.com/2012/11/20...ibbons-manager

I remember Gibbons and Ricciardi having a pretty horrible relationship...a buddy of mine sent me an excerpt from another article that while Gibbons was manager, he had a very close relationship with Anthopoulos.

They still need a bench coach, first base coach and third base coach, don't they?

Apparently Carlos Tosca inquired about the position as well.

He probably said something like: "Alex! Alex! I took an anger management class and I can manage the team now."
