Fuld floated as Rangers' manager candidate
ATLANTA -- Sam Fuld fits the profile of the modern-day baseball manager. He is young, he is smart, he is a former player that relates well to current players and he is well-versed in the analytics and philosophies that dominate the decision-making in the dugout and front office.
It is no surprise then that the Dallas Morning News named Fuld as a potential candidate to replace former Rangers manager Jeff Banister, whom the team dismissed this week. Fuld, who is finishing his first season as the Phillies' Major League player information coordinator, is likely to move up the ladder in the future, either on a big league coaching staff or in a front office, even if the Rangers never call.
