I'd like a Manager with experience. If you look at recent World Series teams, they were all managed by guys who had managed before.


2017: Roberts and Hinch, both managed before.
2016: Maddon and Francona, both managed before.
2015: Yost and Collins
2014: Bochy and Yost
2013: Farrell(Matheny managed the Cards, he's the exception, no Manager experience prior, but they had continuity as he coached under La Russa)
2012: Bochy and Leland
2011: La Russa(Washington managed the Rangers, exception)
2010: Bochy(Washington again exception with Rangers)

So, since 2010, 13 of the 16 World Series teams had Manager who had managed another team prior.

I don't believe Farrell or Roberts had prior management experience in the majors before they were hired by the Red Sox and dodgers.  Farrell was a pitching coach and front office guy, and I think Roberts was also a front office guy.
