Here is a little bit of the article that you might find interesting.:
"I think (Hale) gets the most out of his players," Hairston said. "He's a 'rah-rah' type of manager, and he makes sure his team is prepared first and foremost, and he's always spitting out information of what he knows about the game. He keeps you on your toes the whole time."
Interestingly enough, he's the opposite of Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin, who Hale worked under as Arizona's third-base coach to start the season when Carlos Tosca was out with a foot injury, getting his "cup of coffee" in the big leagues.
Hairston, who has played under both managers this season, said that despite their differences in style, they both are honest men who just use different techniques.
"Chip's going to get it out of you any way possible," he said. "There's not one certain way that Chip uses to get the most out of his players, but I think in a way that they're very similar. They're very knowledgeable and honest, and that's what you look for in a manager. That's what players appreciate."
And another:
"He's a little hard to get used to at first only because you want to learn his motives," said Scott Hairston, an outfielder who has played four seasons under Hale and thus is now used to the skipper. "He doesn't get on you because he doesn't like you, he gets on you because he wants you to do well and he cares about you. Once players figure that out, it's fine."
