Lol. What about the Secreted Weapon :lol:

This is an upgrade? Making a claim that this is "the highest fielding percentage in program history" (3 years ago), means nothing if they were garbage to begin with :roll:

and I am sure you are aware of the recent trend the last couple of years to hire younger major league managers too . Many of the MLB managers are less than 45 years old with a few in their 30's .
Past experience in manager's seat in minors is no longer a valued prerequisite . As Joe Maddon recently said, 'you had to earn your stripes to become a big league manager . That is not the case any more. Good or bad ...that seems to be the trend today .

Two things I like about hire

One it’s not a recycled MLB coach

Two it is from outside the organization.

And the much needed culture change continues!

Once Oli and his clown crew are gone after 2026 we won't have much, if any of the former screw-ups regime left. :D
