Chris Jaffe

Evaluating Baseball's Managers

A History and Analysis of Performance in the Major Leagues, 1876-2008

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This ambitious study of major league managers since the formation of the National League applies a sabermetric approach to gauging their performance and tendencies. Rather than focusing solely on in-game tactical decisions, it also analyzes broader, off-the-field management issues such as handling players, fans, and media, enforcing team rules, working with the front office, and balancing pressure versus performance.
