Milwaukee general manager Doug Melvin now realizes just how much the Brewers have moved up in the baseball world. Managerial candidates are calling him, instead of vice versa. Melvin said Thursday that he was considering a "short list" of other managerial candidates in addition to Dale Sveum, the Brewers' interim manager at the end of the 2008 season. Those candidates all have previous big-league experience as managers, Melvin said, and they contacted him. Melvin would not reveal the names of those who have asked about the job. Former big-league managers currently available include Bob Brenly, previously with Arizona but now a TV broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs; Willie Randolph, fired by the Mets during the 2008 season; Davey Johnson, who managed Team USA in the 2008 Olympics; and Mike Hargrove, who stepped down in Seattle last year citing "burnout."

It took Davey 10 years to get over being fired from his dream job and the Orioles never did anything since then. He has been successful everywhere he went. The Brewers would be crazy not to hire him.
