Have Ozzie manage a few rebuilding teams and see what his percentage is. He has only managed a team that was supposed to contend.

 

Last year's team was predicted to be middle-of-the-pack. Nonetheless, two seasons managing, 1 World Series title isn't a bad rate of success for Guillen.

Past success has no influence on present performance. The question isn't "who has a better resume," but "who's more likely to win now."

 

The right answer is Tom Kelly. He would allow our 3-4-5 to rake and give our bottom of the order a pirana-like attack. He wouldn't have Mack in center, wouldn't put up with a struggling Pods, would make better decisions with the pitching staff, and have the Sox playing sound fundamental baseball.

 

TK wouldn't publicly rip into a rookie pitcher for not doing Vazquez's dirty work, wouldn't have put Marte on the playoff roster over McCarthy, and had he managed this team, would have had us leading the Central by now.

 

EDIT: And TK is above playing favorites unlike Ozzie, and would put the team's success above personal relationships.

You're describing God, not Tom Kelly.

I was describing Tom Kelly, a man whose baseball managing abilities are far superior to Ozzie's.

 

And for those who say Ozzie is a manager whose best assest is motivating his players, he's inferior to TK in that aspect too. TK gets his players to do the little things to win games because they know they will be replaced if they don't. There's no greater motivation than staying in the majors.
