Randy Knorr is the current Bench Coach of the Washington Nationals. He has no managerial experience at the major league level but has managed the Syracuse Chiefs in the International League. Knorr played in the majors for 11 seasons never playing more than 45 games in a season. He was a catcher and we all know that a catcher turns into a great manager in the big leagues. Just ask the other 10 that are current managers of a major league team. Knorr could be the top candidate since he was part of the staff with Davey Johnson. First year guys could be really good or really bad. Mike Matheny has done just fine as the Cardinals manager, as he has managed the talent in place very well. Knorr could do the same thing in Washington with their talented team.
