Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

Weekly Poll

I'm going to put up a poll each week or so asking folks to vote for the 'Best Jay Ever' at each position. I'm not going to push for any in the write up but you are welcome to use the comments to state opinions. I have a feeling that just mentioning the names will bring memories that might end up being posts.

Anyway I'm going to start with Managers, I'm just going to list all the managers we've had (there is only ten of them) so vote for the one that was 'best' in your opinion.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really see how there can be any other choice – the only 2 WS wins I think pretty much seals the deal for me.

Well......

When Cito had a roster of All Stars, he won…..when they started to age….he didn’t win. He was very faithful to the players that had played well for him. So much so that when they didn’t play well he kept using them. He wouldn’t play Shawn Green or other young players. He would leave pitchers out there after they tired. Yeah when the team was great he did ok.

Bobby Cox won with lesser teams. He found players and figured out their strengths and would platoon to hide there weaknesses. I think Bobby was the better manager….I think it was clear that Bobby was the better manager, he was able to get another job after the Jays fired him. Cito wasn’t able to.

Tim Johnson???

I guess if the vote was for best BS’er, he’d get it.
