O'Malley-Kantoku?

O'Malley-Kantoku?
What's this I hear about Tom O'Malley managing the Tigers in 2005? It was the talk of the office this morning. Anything in it?

Haven't heard of that one, but SanSpo reported today that Shimano, head coach under Hoshino-kantoku, is refusing strong offers to come back to a similar position. Perhaps the O'Malley talk has something to do with that.

Someone at work mentioned that he heard that former Tiger Randy Bass was being considered manager for "one of those new teams." I figured that he must have been confusing the announcement of Kuehnert as GM of Rakuten with that. Then this was posted, and I figured that maybe a couple of rumors were getting merged and twisted.

Looking up baseball news on Yahoo! Japan, I see this [SpoNichi] and this [Sports Houchi] [both in Japanese] announcing Livedoor is planning on O'Malley managing them if selected. So you got the right former Tiger suketto, the friend at work the right team.

SanSpo reported today that O'Malley would retain his position as Hanshin's US-based scout now that Rakuten has been made the 6th Pa-League club.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
