Wakamatsu, Wathan interview for managerial job

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers added two more candidates to their managerial search by interviewing interim manager Don Wakamatsu and Phillies third-base coach Dusty Wathan.

The Rangers have now interviewed eight candidates in their search for a replacement for Jeff Banister. The Rangers have not yet indicated what the next step will be -- they could continue to interview additional candidates, they could bring back finalists for a second round or they could make a final decision.

The other candidates to interview so far are: Rangers farm director Jayce Tingler, Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde, Astros bench coach Joe Espada, former Yankees manager Joe Girardi, Giants vice president of player development David Bell and Rays field coordinator Rocco Baldelli.
