Bruce Bochy

[AZCB34]

You have to hand it to SD IMO. They have what I consider a pretty good manager in Bochy and instead of playing revolving door with the manager spot while they were getting their new digs squared away, they stuck with Bruce even though his record is less than stellar:

Year League Team G W L WP Finish

2003 NL West SanDiego 162 64 98 .395 5
+----+-----------+--------+-----+----+----+------+------+
TOTAL 1440 694 746 .482

I think SD is smart to hang onto this guy.
