Sources: Yanks job down to Boone, Meulens

NEW YORK -- The next manager of the New York Yankees is expected to be either ESPN analyst Aaron Boone or San Francisco Giants bench coach Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens, according to sources.

Neither Boone nor Meulens have ever managed in the big leagues. Boone has been a broadcaster since retiring, while Meulens has been a hitting coach and was named the Giants bench coach this winter. He managed the Netherlands in the WBC.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said earlier Friday that he will make his recommendation to owner Hal Steinbrenner soon. Steinbrenner had previously said he was reluctant to have a manager with no experience in the job.
