Mets Show New Way of Thinking in Callaway Hiring

The hiring of Mickey Callaway as the new manager of the Mets surprised me, because we didn’t know much about him and he’s a pitching coach. Not many pitching coaches become managers, but Callaway gets a shot. The fact he spent a lot of time next to Terry Francona in Cleveland should tell you something about what he has learned, and he seems to have the a personality that the players will like. He has no managerial experience but neither did Dave Roberts 2 years ago, and he has the Dodgers in the World Series.
