RIPPA Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 We know how these reports have been so far but... Bob Nightengale (I know, I know) is reporting that Eric Chavez is the favorite to replace Mike Scioscia as LAA manager For what it is worth, Scioscia is saying he wants to manage in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Please pretend you are surprised by this: Los Angeles of Anaheim is NOT shelving Ohtani for the year though. He will probably be their DH next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if the Twins don't already have something like a "Roving Hitting Instructor" where they can take advantage of what Molly did better than all but a few dozen guys in history they need to create such a position for Molly stat. Molly isn't in the HOF because he was a great manager, I think he's in there for something to do with hitting a baseball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey is actually the kind of guy who does really well as a manager. A mostly OK player, nothing special. He basically had one year and then the rest were 'meh". Hodges was a great player for sure. Not all great players end up being lousy managers - Mickey Cochrane is another one that was a good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
