Sveum was voted top managerial prospect in 2003. And he's been under some of the best mangers this game has had to offer. I'm eager to see what he can do.

I think he's a good baseball guy just hasn't proven himself as a manager yet and I guess I expected more of a "splash" to be made... but like you said, the first 2 choices were out. What strikes me funny is that Epstein said he didn't want Sandberg because he wanted a guy with experience... so he hired a guy who's managed like 15 games. Technically that is experience I guess.
