Hi Folks!
Seeing that a lot of you guys watch minor league baseball games, I was wondering if any of you know of any promising managers currently at the helm of minor league teams that you would say should get a crack of managing a big league team? Personally, I've been a fan of Chris Chambliss who is currently at the helm of the Charlotte Knights, and would be a great replacement for Ozzie if and when Ozzie goes off the deep end. Who are your choices for some prime managerial prospects?

Steve Decker
On the way to another first place finish – now with Connecticut.
Decker
The one thing I remember about Steve Decker was when he was catching for Bud Black, so their battery was called: “Black & Decker” LOL!
I've got a McPheever, and only JoJo Reyes can help me!

Decker
I went to the same HS as Decker, a few years after though. I met him at Spring Training one year and he gave me a bat. I’ve been a bigger fan ever since.
I know this has nothing to do with his managerial abilities, but I still wanted to share.

Ryno
A lot of folks believe he’s being groomed for the Cubs job after Lou. He jumped over Jody Davis (who was reassigned as a roving catching instructor), from Low A Peoria to Tennessee.
Marty Pevey has also done a great job with the Cubs Peoria squad this year, but he’s a bit down the pecking order.

I just do not see it. He has the heart of Cubs fans, but I just do not see him as a manager. I know the Lou comps are there because he is a hot head, but I would be very surprised to see him succeed as a major league manager.

Not very many really good players go on to become good managers

Matt Walback...
for the Altoona Curve. Good manager and has done a decent job with some of the players at Altoona.
That guy
who threw the rosin bag like a grenade
Ron "Pop" Warner
Springfield Cardinals manager. I’ve heard and read that he will be a serious contender to take the major league job when Tony LaRussa finally calls it quits.
Rocket Wheeler
Myrtle Beach Pelicans. He may not be the future of the Braves’ coaching staff, but damn he’s entertaining.
Torey Luvullo
Has been long rumored as the guy that will replace Eric Wedge when he is inevitably fired.
