Talk:Jim Leyland

POV?
POV: "best modern-day manager in baseball" a bit much? Lou Piniella, Joe Torre, Bobby Cox and othes (Whitey Herzog?) come to mind in addition to LaRussa. And define "modern?" Often in baseball, "modern" means "after 1900," due to some settling in the organization of the leagues, etc. After 1950 would be another valid cutoff. Leyland was definitely in the top 10 managers of the 1990's, Felipe Alou, for example, is also highly regarded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.43.141 (talk) 16:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree - extremely POV (even though I think the author is right). Should that sentence just be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westmt01 (talk • contribs) 04:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

More research needs to be done on his years as a player. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.199.226 (talk) 05:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Jim Leyland never made it to the majors as a player; he played for six seasons in the Tigers organization (minor leagues) as a catcher from 1964 to 1969. (Tigers Magazine; 2006 Season, Issue No. 2, p. 29) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markmeista (talk • contribs) 20:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
