Macha To Be New Skipper

According to two sources on ESPN.COM, Ken Macha will be named later today as the new Brewers manager. Not my first choice (Brenly), but Macha is a solid guy. He won multiple AL West Division Titles while in Oakland. I'll give the guy a chance. He needs to bring discipline, and new hitting coach! Anything is better than Yost, so this is a plus in my mind. Like Sveum, think he's a good guy, but they couldn't hire him as they needed someone from the outside coming in to rewrite the ship.

I would like to see what Jason Kendall says about the hire, seeing he played for Macha, he has to have an opinion on the guy. Sveum as the hitting coach though bothers me, will there be a change in philosophy at the plate this year...there better be, it is about time these kids become hitters not swingers....
