Jerry Manuel - First ImpressionsJerry Manuel has an easy act to follow, but I've been enjoying watching him during his introductory press conference.
He's not the fiery type, but seems thoughtful and flexible. I like his call for players to have "career years." Under Willie Randolph, having a career year resulted in getting demoted and then waived (see e.g., Gotay, Ruben).
