I found the Collins story I referred to this morning. Solid reading to keep you busy during the Giants-Seahawks. Lots to it…definitely check it out
One of the reasons Terry Collins has not had a job managing in MLB in ten years is because he lost control of his ballclub. He has remained in the game in lesser roles because he is — absolutely — a “good baseball man” and well-liked by his colleagues, superiors, and players. Funny, he sounds eerily similar to another guy who lost control of his clubhouse and didn’t manage again for several years — Jerry Manuel.
