Mattingly Gives Dodgers An Earful Over His Status - NYTimes.com - Billy Witz -- “When you’re put in this position, the organization basically says we don’t know if you can manage or not,” said Mattingly, who is 260-225 in three seasons as the Dodgers’ manager. “I’ve always said I like being here, but I don’t want to be anywhere that you’re not wanted. I don’t know how everybody feels. I know where I am, how I feel about confidence in myself. If people don’t feel the same way, then that’s the way it is.” -- “With a club like this, you come in basically as a lame duck,” Mattingly said. “With the guys that you have, it puts you in a tough spot in the clubhouse, so we dealt with that all year long. And really what it does, it puts me in a spot where everything I do is questioned because I’m basically trying out or auditioning to say: can you manage or can you not manage? To me, three years in, you either know or don’t know.”
