Who's In the Running and Who Makes Sense in a Crowded Group of Candidates?

The Padres have been without a manager for more than a week, so how is the search shaping up? Derek and Darnay discuss some early candidates including one guy who almost seems like too obvious of a pick. What impact does the Cardinals' sudden decision have on the Padres' search? And what might it mean for Skip Schumaker? If Aaron Boone becomes available is a homecoming a no-brainer? Derek shares two more names that have his attention. Then the guys rate their five top candidates, then find themselves comparing managers on the market to college football's Power 5.
