Understanding the Job

I like this quote from Trey Hillman:

"I have no anxiety about that because the game of baseball is the same all over the world. There's different styles and different ways of playing it," he said. "Really, what matters is the foundational relationships that you can build with your players and putting them in the best possible position to be successful."

Managers need to know their players strength and weaknesses and put them in situations that allow them to take advantage of their strengths. It's nice to see that Hillman understands that.

He also said:
"I like to bunt. I like to hit and run. I like to steal bases. I like to create movement on the bases. I think it creates pressure on the opposition. I like the home runs and doubles as much as anybody, but I think you have to diversify and create other opportunities."
So take it with a grain of salt.
