1. Moses Taylor loves a good maim Posted: October 26, 2021 at 04:15 PM (#6049179)Anyway, this seems like a terrible idea.
Geez, and they haven't even started the friggin' World Series yet!
*guillen's comments, btw:
i've always liked ozzie, but i'll say the same thing about him that i said about gabe kapler when he was hired by the phillies a few years ago: it's not generally a good idea to put your organization's future in the hands of a nutter.
Huh? Guillen did play in the 99 series with the Braves (they lost). 2004 was his first year as a manager. Ahh, he was a coach on the 2003 Marlins -- don't think I've ever seen a coach referred to as a title winner much less it being "his" title. (Sure, references to "he was the 3rd base coach on the champion Marlins" but not "he won a title as 3rd base coach for the Marlins.")
OK, rested & ready. My arms do seem somewhat tan.
The SF Giants disagree with you with respect to Kapler
I haven't done a comprehensive search, but that has to be the lowest TTO percentage for any post-1960 player with a substantial career. Or is it?
Almost certainly the lowest of his era, but there a few who beat him (not comprehensive):
Felix Millan: 582 TTO in 6325 PA (9.2%)
Glenn Beckert: 525 TTO in 5572 PA (9.4%)
Tim Foli: 689 TTO in 6573 PA (10.5%)
Tommy Helms: 566 TTO in 5337 PA (10.6%)
Bill Buckner: 1077 TTO in 10037 PA (10.7%)

In this day of increasing communication and cooperation between front office and manager, I really can't see Guillen ever get hired again as manager. It's amazing he got hired with his attitude when he did even.
It would be fun to have Ozzie manage all of the teams he played for, though I think it's quite unlikely he'd ever manage the Rays.
