As the search for the Blue Jays new manager intensifies, Mop Up Duty throws their hat into the ring for former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge.

Eric Wedge? Wasn't the knock on him that his Indians' teams never really met expectations? I wouldn't really be excited with the prospect of him as a manager. Then again, I'm at a loss to suggest good candidates, since Buck got a job. Is Bobby Valentine still out there somewhere?
Steve, from what I've read/heard, apparently Wedge isn't too far off from Cito Gaston, so maybe there wouldn't be that much adjustment on the player's part.
Personally, Eric Wedge's managing style never stuck out to me, so it's difficult to say.
