Littlefield and Macha

Dave Littlefield will interview Ken Macha sometime soon, says today's PG. As I said in one of the comment threads below, I think Macha will have to have a really outstanding interview to overtake Tracy in DL's eyes. It just seems to me that the history between Tracy and Littlefield makes him the clear favorite. Of course, Macha does have a good history working with young players on a low budget team. This most recent team he helmed in Oakland got exponentially better as the year went on, kind of the opposite of what we've come to expect here in Pittsburgh.

Interestingly enough, as the article goes on to point out, Littlefield and Tracy were just "talking baseball" in what was thought to be a two hour phone interview the other day. Tracy should be flying into Pittsburgh early next week for a formal interview, though, again, I'd think that the guy that can pal around with the GM and just chat about baseball for two hours is probably the front runner.
