And why in the world would you want to put in that kind of work?

All that travel, the constant grind. So you can make a couple million/season tops when you've made $200+ million over the course of a career?

I just can't see how that would appeal to them. And ultimately if they realize that AFTER they get the job, they'll just start mailing it in. And that's not good for anyone either.

This would definitely be a standard Dewitt move.

Molina saw managers hours and grief they put up with daily. He sucks, he ruins his reputation in STL. Yet, he still wants to manage? I guess they miss the competition and don’t know what to do with their lives post playing days.
