Column: Padres gamble by not making splash with Tingler’s hiring

Imagine Joe or Josephine Padres Fan walking into a room.

Hey, did you hear the big news? Your team hired a manager.

Was it Ron Washington, the guy who had the Rangers in the World Series? Twice. Heard players love him.

Was it Joe Maddon? I know he got canned, but he won a World Series with the Cubs for God’s sake.

Joe Girardi? He won a World Series with the Yankees. He’d be interesting.

Bruce Bochy? He won three titles in San Francisco and remember 1998?
