Russell ready to steer the Pirate ship
Posted by sagsy on November 3, 2007
John Russell, who managed the Lynx this season, seems to be the favourite to take over the Pittsburgh Pirates job — replacing another one-time Ottawa manager, Jim Tracy.
I wrote at Out of Left Field way back in the winter that Russell might have been the best major-league prospect on the Lynx. It has been a long time coming for the former catcher, who was shortlisted for a couple major-league managing posts last season, particularly the Washington Nationals and his former club, the Texas Rangers.
