A look at the interview of New York Mets third-base coach Manny by the San Francisco Giants.General manager Brian Sabean and other team officials met Acta in San Francisco. Sabean also planned to interview San Diego Padres manager Bruce Bochy about the same position. However no date for a meeting with Bochy had been set yet .Bochy, 51, has led the San Diego Padres to back-to-back NL West titles this season. He was playing for the Padres before becoming managing the team. He already spent 24 years in the organization. Bochy is the manager who has the largest number of victory in Padres history. Despite having one year remaining on his contract, the team allowed the current łanger to explore other opportunities.The San Francisco Giants are looking for a new manager after the team decided not to renew Felipe Alou's contract. Their decision was made after the Giants lost their second straight season and finished their third year in a row out of the playoffs.The Giants have already interviewed three other candidates before Acta. They already approached San Francisco bench coach Ron Wotus, Los Angeles Angels pitching coach Bud Black and Lou Piniella. But Finella withdrew himself from the run because he explained to work closer to his home in Florida. Besides he has been hired last week by the Chicago Cubs. The Giants are now considering new option and Bochy is planned to be the fifth potential manager to be approached.Sabean explained that the perfect candidate is someone with experience as a manager either in the majors or the minors. But a candidate with experience as a big league coach might be also an option. Acta might have the profile searched by the Giants; He has experience both in the minor league and in the big league level with New York where he spent the last two seasons. Before the Mets, he was as the third base coach for the Montreal Expos. Acta has also managed in the Dominican Winter League. Texas Rangers, who are looking for Buck Showalter's replacement, also interviewed Acta. Eventually he is also expected to meet this week with the Washington Nationals.
