For some reason, I think he would make a great coach. Could the rumor I heard about him getting a managers job be true?

If he does become a manager it wont be right away he does want to enjoy retirement.

I'd hire him...of course I think he'll be a manager in the minors before he reaches the big leagues.

He's a guy who has played C, CF and 2B and all good quality-wise. He knows the game and from all accounts, he's a great person.

Wouldn't the exclamation point be hitting a walk-off in your last game
