@jonallendc @bkamisar Davey Johnson won a World Series
To be fair, Dusty Baker is the most impressive manager on that list even if he was the third or fourth best player.https://twitter.com/bkamisar/status/661545459488595968 …

@colinwilhelm@bkamisar with Doc Gooden, Straw, Carter, Hernandez, et al. Baker's a three-time MOY and oversaw bad teams getting great. -
@colinwilhelm@bkamisar plus, I watched Johnson fail to manage two extremely talented teams in Bal and DC. -
@jonallendc@colinwilhelm That's definitely true. Not poo-pooing the hire as much as I'm just laughing at the headline in 3 day retrospect -
@bkamisar@jonallendc@colinwilhelm Baker also knows how to manage a superstar -
@Eddie_Dynamite@bkamisar@jonallendc Dusty Baker's career winning percentage: .526 (http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/bakerdu01.shtml …) -
@colinwilhelm@Eddie_Dynamite@bkamisar with the post-strike Giants and the Cubs for most of that time. -
@jonallendc@Eddie_Dynamite@bkamisar There's a reason Dusty Baker wasn't in high demand and said yes to team that just lowballed Bud Black. - 2 more replies

@jonallendc I'm not sure recycling Cubs managers is the smartest move. -
@WaldoWilbur fair point. As long as he doesn't bring their players. Team with most ex-Cubs loses.
