What purpose would a cocky vet serve? I find this narrative quite interesting. The need for a manager “who’s been there before” or a “cocky vet” will push the team forward. What is the evidence this helps with any team?
LaRussa did sweet eff all with a talented White Sox team. Maddon in Anaheim. AJ Hinch with the Tigers. The Phillies manager hadn’t managed a game prior to Girardi being fired and now they’re in the NLDS. Mike Matheny was fired. Buck Showalter’s team is out.
Josh Donaldson was a cocky vet who is in his fifth team over multiple years. Correa was a cocky vet who didn’t help Minnesota get anywhere. The guy mentioned Manoah was not great in his one game in the playoffs.
