Ron Washington – Former Rangers manager
With a murky personal history Ron Washington has emerged from the ashes after taking the Texas Rangers to the World Series only a couple of years ago. With transgressions and drug use in the past Washington is a strong voice and a leader that this team needs.
It’s a good change of pace after Mackanin, who let players such as Maikel Franco and Herrera take slight advantage of him. Washington won’t let that happen.
