ARLINGTON -- On one side of the podium at Monday's news conference sat the latest installment of baseball's biggest trend, a first-time manager.
Next to Chris Woodward sat the general manager who's now hired three of his type in a row.
"My hope," Jon Daniels said, "is that I never have to do it again."
Maybe you think the Rangers' GM has already hired at least two too many of any kind. An old baseball axiom, in fact, holds that GMs generally don't last long enough to name three managers.
Ever heard that one, Jon?
