Ray Montgomery is a no-nonsense, fiery personality who is incredibly detail-oriented, plus knows everything about opposing players given his extensive background in scouting. After the season, the Los Angeles Angels absolutely need to return him to their big league coaching staff if/when they decide they will not to take the interim manager tag off his job title. Montgomery is an excellent employee for an organization to have, but being a big league manager is putting him out over his skis a bit.
