What are the skills that a successful baseball manager must have? I suspect that there are many possible answers to that question, perhaps as many as those answering the question. No doubt each of us posting on LADT have different preferences or expectations. Some are happy with Dave Roberts, some not so pleased, some neutral. Perhaps each of us has a manager in mind that we think is or has been a good manager. Perhaps we assign a rating by a win-loss record or by post-season success.
I expect there are job descriptions for managers but they would include the duties the manager must perform.
