What makes a manager a good manager?  Fans only see in-game decisions.  There must be more to it than that.
Humberto Sanchez

I think is al about managing all those different personalities. A good manager must have a very good sense of empathy.

How was your mindset in the minors? Did you talk to your family often or was it very rare?
Humberto Sanchez

Family has always been my priority. Yes the team becomes your family but your actual family will always be there, even after your baseball career is over.

How did most of the team feel about the Joe Torre to Joe Girardi switch? Especially the veterans, some of which played with Girardi?
Humberto Sanchez
11:00
Love Joe Torre personally, Girardi was more acquired taste for my personality. BTW Rob Thompson with the Phillies was a great man in the dougout.
