I love Dusty as a regular season manager, but after 10/1 or so, I would send him on trip to Italy to sample wines for a month or so, hang at jazz clubs, and view foliage. I would take just about any disciple of Terry Francona - Tim Bogar even - over Dusty at that point. I'd even think about John Farrell.
We hire Davey in 2016 (when we interviewed him) we end up with at least two NLCS appearances. Probably a WS title
