I think as long as you have some experience and understand the mechanics of the game, you can manage a major league team. Key is handling the clubhouse personalities and managing people. Even in the nAtional League, the strategic levers aren’t that complicated. Matheny was bad at the latter and also stupid/old school about he former. Which is how he took the Porsche he inherited and wrapped it around a light pole.

My personal preference would be hire from outside the organization to bring in a different view or perspective.

CBS is trying to tell me Dusty Baker is a potential candidate.
They're joking, correct? |

I seen him and John Farrell on a couple of lists as well. Dusty has failed everywhere. I don't know much about Farrell.

yeah I’m not very keen on hiring another manager with no experience managing at any level. Unless Yadi wants to retire immediately and take the manager job.

His name makes him sound like a double amputee with syphilis.

I almost forgot - now that asshat has been fired I'm no longer on strike. Watching the game now. At least for the moment, they're winning.
