With Bruce Bochy calling it quits as manager of the San Francisco Giants, the search for a new manager is underway. A new candidate is available in the form of the just-fired former manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, Gabe Kapler.
Kapler managed the team for two seasons and amassed a record of 161-163. With a roster as loaded as the one in Philadelphia, not to mention the huge get of superstar Bryce Harper in the offseason, that record didn’t cut it.
It is obviously not entirely his fault, but someone has to take the fall after a disappointing season and more often than not it is the manager.
