Can managers go?

My vote is for Jim Leyland simply because he’s had an amazing career. He’s beloved by fans where ever he goes and look what he’s done with the Tigers in 2 seasons.

Managers can go.

Leyland’s problem is that he’s lost more games than he’s won in his career. On the other hand, that’s partly because Florida purged the roster after he won the World Series. And Leyland has won manager of the year three times.

I’d say he’s on the bubble.

Managers do get selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Tommy Lasorda is in. There are undoubtable more.
