Just wondering what you guys think of Chris Jaffe's "Evaluating Baseball's Managers".

Deathlove posted:Oh, just because I'm a gossip whore - was it ever revealed what O'Malley had on Messersmith that was so personal that he wouldn't resign with the Dodgers no matter what? Messersmith simply wanted a no-trade clause, and O'Malley didn't want to give it to him. In fact, had O'Malley assented to the no-trade clause, Messersmith would have signed his 1975 contract and thus would have removed himself as the only active player Marvin Miller could have used as a test case for challenging the interpretation of the reserve clause. Messersmith apologized in advance to Miller about this in a phone call, as well.
