Checking in on how the Mets manager stacks up against the rest of the
National League skippers.
Terry
Collins elicits some pretty strong feelings from Mets fans, which is the kind
of relationship all baseball managers tend to have with their fans, even some
of those who have championship success. Over 162 games, there are a lot of
decisions that a manager has to make, and almost all seem to enrage some portion
of fanbases, especially on social media – as if we armchair managers have any
significant fraction of the information available to MLB managers. But when it
comes to ranking
baseball managers, there is little statistical information available (and
almost none used) to compare the men who will inevitably become scapegoats for
their team. That’s where the 2015 Bill
James Handbook comes in handy, as it had some interesting statistics on
current major league managers. You can see how Terry Collins ranked in a few of
the statistical categories measured in the Handbook
below, and check out the
book for even more statistics on major league managers, and a lot more on
major league players.
