How has Jody Davis been as a manager?

[kaseyi]

I was just wondering...How has Jody Davis been doing as manager of the Chiefs? Now I don't really mean wins/loses, but how has he been doing as a manager. I have not been able to really follow the Chiefs, so how is he in the handling of his players? Hows is he with his pitchers? Overall, is he a decent manager? I was just thinking about him as a possible replacement for Dusty if the Cubs want to go the local "big name" route once Dusty is gone and I am not sure how he would be.

Everything I've personally seen of Jody has been really positive - he's very patient with the fans and always has something interesting to say to Ryan Ori (the newspaper guy)

 

Nate certainly spends more time around him than I do as a fan, but in talking with the other players, they seem to have nothing but the upmost respect for him - he keeps the clubhouse loose and understands the grind of a full season, something a lot of these guys are experiencing for the first time. Guys seem to be working through stuff and getting better at bat and in the field, so that must mean Jody's doing his job. We've had more promotions up this year already than I think we did until the *very* end of last season, so if that's a barometer of success, he's doing well. That said, I'm not sure if he would be the right guy to replace Dusty...on the other hand, with the Ozzie Guillen factor on the other side of town, maybe he'd be perfect.
