Just thrilled it is not Kapler. Entirely too valuable to the development of the farm, hope he stays there.
No experience as a Manager but has been a bench coach for the past 3 years under a guy who won Manager of the Year back in 2010 in Bud Black so I think he'll be fine.
Have fun you Mattingly hating fucktards... I can't wait for all you to all to find who to blame now. You made this bed now sleep in it. With that being said happy thanksgiving, merry Christmas and god bless all of us.
Don't know what you're saying here man, Dave Roberts has more expereince than DBB did when he 1st started.
Post reserved Gonna edit after I see how he does But shoutout AF and FZ for pickin a nigga #teamlightskin
I like the hire. I think I'm just more relived Kapler wasn't chosen. Roberts is a World Series champ, knows the organization and is familiar with the division. I think he'll do just fine. Word is that the players preferred him over the other candidates.
The vets put their input in on the manager position..cool. Now they need to get together and vote Puig off the island and let's get Heyward
Now the next question for me is can Dave convince Zack to come back? Since Dave has the respect of the vets on our team who reportedly asked the FO to hire him attract guys to sign whom we are targeting? Will he reach out to Yasiel ASAP?
Boo has some sort personal connection to Donny. and Dave really doesnt have anymore experience, it is about the same.
I fuck with it. Like Kapler more in his current role too. Roberts has some bench experience at least, which can't hurt. I worry about the 1st time managing thing, but then again I wanted Martinez, so that's a tough excuse for me. But it's still there. He seems well respected too though, which I think is huge. Let's win a ring!
