Albert Pujols' likely new destination might make Angels fans regret passing on him

The Los Angeles shocked the baseball world by passing on Albert Pujols in favor of Kurt Suzuki as their next manager, and there was good reasoning behind that decision. Suzuki is a beloved personality and baseball mind, who has made major impacts on players, coaches and front offices at every single one of his past organizations. Suzuki does not have managerial experience, but his resume is polished enough to have Angels fans convincing themselves that he will stick around long-term despite him managing on a one-year contract.

Torii Hunter will not take a managerial job elsewhere, as the Minnesota Twins brought on Derek Shelton to lead the team over Hunter (amongst others).
