La Russa comes with an ego, a high price tag and everything else. Not that you're implying he will be named or has any chance. Also he's pretty hardcore right wing so not sure how he'd feel about coming to liberal Toronto. And he's retired and he's old and I'd hate if they did because then there would be over the top additional coverage as if he'd be the difference between a championship or not. He managed games really well, he knows baseball, he'll go down as one of the best. I hope he enjoys his remaining years.

I respect your opinion, but still think he would be a good, if not great hire. With that said, there is probably a 0.12% chance of it actually happening, so the two of us going back and forth debating about him is probably futile.
I like your suggestion of Acta, he is a good manager and the busload of Dominicans now on the roster would likely be very happy working under him. Jerry Manuel is another interesting name, and another guy who can speak Spanish IIRC.
