Former Ranger Buddy Bell was named manager of the Royals today. Buddy, as far as I can tell is a good guy, and will probably give the Royals his best shot. However, I don’t see ’em doing much of anything anytime soon.
In fact, during tonight’s telecast, Josh Lewin remarked that in his previous mangerial stops, Buddy was in charge of some teams that were pretty much in the toilet, and that he might be good at getting players through bad times.
Doesn’t say much about his ability to turn it around when folks are talking about how he can keep their spirits up when losing? Yikes. Still, I wish him the best, I hope he can turn it around there.
