 The Cub Reporter: Davey Johnson, One Last Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
He agrees with me (and really, would I be mentioning all this if he didn’t?) that a proven winner like Johnson ought to have been considered for a few of the half-dozen job openings that came up this off-season.
My “source” implied that perhaps Johnson had burned too many bridges, but baseball has a long history of welcoming back people who can help a team, no matter how “difficult” they are.
But someday soon there is going to be a general manager (Theo Epstein, perhaps?) who will look at what Davey did in the past and decide that, difficult to work with or not, he’s the guy the team needs to make it to the playoffs.
