The Tigers should hire Manny Acta
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsThe Tigers need a manager in 2016 who has experience, and who will cooperate with Al Avila's metrics-oriented vision. Manny Acta would be a perfect fit.
It's all but certain that Tigers manager Brad Ausmus will not be back to manage the team in 2016. It is also a near certainty that owner Mike Ilitch will insist on replacing Ausmus with a manager who has more experience. That, combined with the fact that new GM Al Avila has already been quite outspoken about his preference for advanced metrics, opens the door for the very real possibility that the next manager of the Detroit Tigers will be former MLB manager and ESPN analyst Manny Acta.
