I think Sveum would be an excellent choice. I would take him over the 3 finalists for the job the last time the brewers had a managerial opening. I would be shocked if Macha was back next year. There really are no great experienced managerial candidates out there, so you can either bring in a rookie manager from outside the organization or a retread. I'd love to see Freddie Gonzalez but hes most likely going to Atlanta. also it will be hard to get a quality candidate as there will be a few high profile managerial openings next year including the cubs, dodgers, and possibly the mets.
