Phillies will interview three former managers

Former Indians' manager Charlie Manuel will be interviewed Wednesday.
KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS
PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies were scheduled to resume their search for Larry Bowa's successor today.
They were scheduled to interview Don Baylor today, Charlie Manuel Wednesday and Grady Little on Thursday.
The former big-league managers, who each have led a team to the postseason, will interview with the Phillies front office this week. Other possible managerial candidates could be interviewed after front-office members return next week from their organizational meetings in Clearwater, Fla.
Baylor, 55, has been the New York Mets' bench and hitting coach the last two seasons, but previously managed the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs.
He led the Rockies to the playoffs in 1995, in which they lost to the Atlanta Braves in the division series.
"I've been to a lot of post-seasons," he said last week. "It's a lot of fun to play in September when you're right there. It's fun coming to the ball park. I haven't had that feeling the last few years. That's what I play for. That's what I manage for."
Manuel piloted Tribe
Manuel, 60, has spent the last two seasons as a special assistant to Phillies general manager Ed Wade. But before that he managed the Cleveland Indians, and is close with Phillies first baseman Jim Thome.
Manuel took the Indians to the postseason in 2001, but lost in the division round to the Seattle Mariners.
Little, 54, managed the Boston Red Sox for two seasons, leading the Red Sox to the American League Championship Series last season.
"It's a good opportunity for anyone at this time," Little said Monday. "And I welcome that opportunity."
Wade wants a manager who brings a different voice to the clubhouse. Expect the next manager to be more of a players' manager than Bowa.
"It's their clubhouse," Baylor said. "It's someplace where guys come and relax, not a place where, when the manager walks into the room, everybody stops talking.
"I never like to embarrass my players at all, but I also don't like players to embarrass the organization."
