Grady Little Is Alive And Managing In Kansas City
By Maybe it’s me, but if a manager’s previous employer was compelled to fire him in mid-September while his team was holding a playoff spot, he’s probably not someone you want managing your team during a pennant race. If the argument for hiring him is that he’s good with young players, again, if you’re so determined to win right now that you’re willing to trade an exceptional OF prospect, you really need to hire a real manager.
It’s also sort of poignant that Carlos Pena was a major part of Yost’s Waterloo. Saints be praised, I assume we’re going to have a moratorium on “Billy Beane is a complete fraud because he couldn’t find the magic elixir that would ensure that the better team wins 3 rather than 2 games of a 5-game series” articles for a bit.
