A fairly subjective story on who the writer thinks are the best in the dugout.
A couple of my observations: Boston Globe writer picking the Boston manager who just won the W.S. as his top choice -- kind of, what else did we expect?
As well, he picks Francona as his No. 3 guy, what else did we expect after the Valentine's Day massacre? Kinda plays to fan anger a little, I think. Francona DID do great work.
I think there is some puppy love for Bob Melvin too.
Also, remember ... Casey Stengel and Sparky Anderson are great managers -- with some of the best players ever.
Personally on this list: Roenicke is too high, Gibson is too low and I think the writer is being rather rude in his opinion of Matheny. Again, it's a Boston writer.
READ AND CHEW ON IT
