He retired from baseball as a player back in 2009 and went to work as a broadcaster. He had never managed a single baseball game at any level in his life -- and never coached even so much as a single inning in baseball -- and here he was being hired to perhaps the most challenging on-field coaching/managerial position in any North American sport.
He's a smart guy and he knows his way around a baseball field for sure, but you can't tell me he has any real decision-making capabilities at all.
