Is Former Randy Ready Ready to Manage in MLB?

August 21st, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Randy Ready as a Fort Wayne Wizards skipperPortland Beavers manager and former Wizards skipper, Randy Ready, was recently named the Pacific Coast League’s “Best Manager Prospect” according to Baseball America’s annual “Best Tools” Survey.

In addition, left-handed starter Wade LeBlanc was selected the pitcher with the “Best Control” in the PCL, center fielder Will Venable was selected for “Best Strike Zone Judgment” and left fielder Chase Headley, who is already with the Padres, was selected as the “Best Batting Prospect.” All three are former Wizards.

“It’s quite a compliment, because it’s peer-driven,” Ready said before Friday night’s home game against Fresno. [Source: Portland Tribune]

But the question now becomes, is Randy Ready ready to manage in Major League Baseball?  If he is, where would it be?

“I’d like to get an opportunity to manage in the major leagues,” Ready says. “The resume is coming together, and I think I’m earning the opportunity to at least earn an interview.”

Ready managed in Fort Wayne from 2004 through 2006 where he compiled a 208-209 record and reached the playoffs each season. He managed Double-A San Antonio to a 73-66 record and a Texas League championship in 2007. 2008 is his first stint as a Triple-A manager.
