Jim Tracy resigned and the Rockies are trying to figure out who might replace him. Troy Renck names some names:
The Rockies determining whether will stay in-house or look at external managerial candidates.In-house: Runnells, Cole, maybe Giambi

Outside candidates surely to come up if Rox look that way: Tim Wallach, Sandy Alomar Jr., Brad Ausmus, among others

As for the outside candidates, one would figure that Alomar would wait to see if he’s asked to stay on in Cleveland and Ausmus might want to wait to see if the Red Sox want him.
The internals: Giambi? That would be unexpected. I know that he has, in his post Yankees life, transformed into a good organizational guy and a mentor, but I don’t recall anyone ever talking about him like he’s managerial material. Could be fun. And not just because it would make anti-PED people’s heads explode.
