Following a decade with Joe Girardi at the helm, the New York Yankees will move into 2018 with a new manager. One name being bandied about among the many is Willie Randolph. In this space, BronxPinstripes.com takes a look at Randolph back in pinstripes.
Managerial Profile
In his lone major-league managerial stint, Randolph guided the crosstown New York Mets back to respectability in 2005 with a winning record of 83-79. The ensuing season saw Randolph’s Mets finish tied with the Yankees for the best record in baseball at 97-65. Leading the Mets to the NLCS in 2006 and their first National League East title since 1988, only the Florida Marlins’ Girardi edged out Randolph for NL Manager of the Year honors.
