Ben and Carlos talk about the Tony Vitello to the majors rumors and think about the skills that would or wouldn’t translate from the college game to the majors. Should MLB teams be looking for more managers from the college ranks? And why don’t we see more MLB/college coaching crossover in general? The two then discuss which of the current MLB manager vacancies would be the most and least appealing.
