"We're extremely excited to bring Dave Roberts on board as the next manager of the Dodgers." With that simple statement, president of baseball operations for the Los Angeles Dodgers Andrew Friedman announced the hiring of Dave Roberts. Roberts is a former player for the Dodgers in the early 2000's but has no managerial experience at any level of professional baseball.
The two finalists, Gabe Kapler and Roberts, were a surprise because I believed that the Dodgers would go after someone with more experience. I also believed that Kapler had the advantage because of his relationship with Friedman but Roberts knocked it out of the park during his interview and a managerial career was born.
