I didn’t like Collins because I did not think he was a quality major league manager and was more suited for the minor leagues. He didn’t hold players accountable, played it to conservatively for my liking, small ball didn’t exist under his tenure, managed the bullpen poorly(just like Mickey is doing), and nothing seemed to improve under him they carried the same deficiencies every year. There is no reason you cannot hire a better manager.
I would have backed up the brinks truck once Joe Maddon parted ways with the Rays, and thanked Terry for his service.
