Today, another opportunity for readers to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful dialog and a variety of opinions are welcomed.
Let?s create some running conversational threads. And for those of you still going into offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom calls ? as you talk to your co-workers.
Here is today?s hot topic.
Exactly 2 months ago, the Tigers hired Gary Jones to be their new AAA manager. He has extensive minor league experience, winning 4 Manager of the Year Awards. One of his players back then was A. J. Hinch.
Jones also has 3 years of work as a third base coach with the Cubs. One of the players he worked with was Javier Baez.
But before Gary could manage a day, he was promoted to first base coach with Detroit. This was a result of Kimera Bartee, his predecessor, passing away suddenly. Taking over the managerial duties in Toledo will be Lloyd McClendon.
If we eliminate the McClendon factor, which position do you believe Jones would fit best? AAA manager or first base coach in Detroit? Would he best serve the team at the MLB level or in the AAA system?
Gary Jones would best serve the team as...
1. The AAA manager.
2. The Tigers' first base coach.
