In this week’s Future Projection, Ben Badler and Carlos Collazo discuss the Tony Vitello-to-the-majors rumors and brainstorm on the skills that would or wouldn’t translate from the college game to the majors.
Should MLB teams be looking for more managers from the college ranks? And why don’t we see more MLB/college coaching crossover in general?
We then talk about which of the current MLB manager vacancies would be the most and least appealing.
