ANALYSIS/OPINION
It turns out that Jim Riggleman was right.
The former Washington Nationals manager may have clumsily handled the moment when he threatened to quit — and then carried out the threat in the middle of the 2011 season unless his contract option for the next season was picked up by the Lerner family, the Nationals owners.
But Riggleman was right.
Riggleman’s confrontation was with general manager Mike Rizzo, and perhaps was ill-advised, as Rizzo, with former World Series manager Davey Johnson in his back pocket.
