Phillies ‘Blown Away’ with New Manager Joe Girardi

Joe Girardi, the 55th manager in Philadelphia Phillies history, has had the job for only a few weeks.

Yet, he has already made a tremendous impact, so much so, that he has “blown away” Phillies general manager Matt Klentak, among others.

Klentak recently joined SportsRadio 94 WIP and praised the new Phillies skipper.

“Just going through the interview process and talking to a lot of people that have known Joe throughout his time with the Yankees, Marlins, and back to his playing days, what stuck out was how many people who talked about what a great guy, teammate and hard worker he is,” Klentak said.
