Jays and Astros mini-reviews

Toronto blog Out of Left Field says a series of nice things about what I sent them. The review actually gives me multiple quotes to pick from. Here are two:

Thanks to Chris Jaffe, you might never look at the men in the dugout the same way.

And the other one:

Good sportswriting should increase understanding or stimulate thought. Evaluating Baseball's Managers hits it out of the park on each count.

Also, Crawfish Boxes (AKA the SBN Blog for the Astros), also posted their mini-review. Their opinion:

What Jaffe does with all these guys is highlight why they were good or why they weren't successful. He does an excellent job of it, providing stats to back it up in each manager's capsule, but also backing it up with solid analysis. Bullpen usage, hitting for power, walks, and more are shown as trends for each manager as Jaffe does a good job of describing what kind of team each guy oversaw. It's exactly what history buffs would want and provides the kind of source material that analysts will be using for years.
