While managerial candidates come in many different packages, from experienced and hardened to the major league coaching life to green and pliable to a front office's desires, such a hire for the Orioles appears to have taken a backseat as they also have to replace executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette.
Possible candidates for that job are a bit easier to identify — they either have held such roles before or are top lieutenants in successful organizations. Depending on what the Orioles might be looking for, the candidate could have experience on the baseball side or be a more analytical mind who can set a modern agenda.
