Dave Trembley, Orioles manager

Five Things I Have To Have Now

March 16, 2008

You can catch him on the field or riding his bicycle along the sandy shores of Daytona Beach, Fla. When Orioles' manager Dave Trembley's schedule is not filled with baseball, he is definitely thinking or talking about it. "It's my life," said Trembley.

The 56-year-old manager spent two decades coaching in the minor leagues, before being elevated last year to the majors as the Orioles' on-field coordinator. Within weeks he became the bullpen coach, and last June he was named manager. Trembley says the secret to managing a successful team is communication. During the off-season, you can find him in Daytona Beach taking nice long walks on the beach with his wife and enjoying his family.

1. 25 good players

"A good coaching staff could help me with the team."

3. Fans to pack Camden Yards

"It would be good for the players and bring about excitement for the city."

4. Win a lot of games

"It would be great for the Orioles."

5. A nice glass of red wine

"A glass of red wine to help me appreciate everything I have."
