According to a Sports Illustrated poll of current major league players, Lou Piniella is the manager players would least want to play for. Piniella told the Chicago Tribune
“I take that as a compliment,” Piniella said. “We demand things and we want to win. There are some pretty good names on that list.”
Piniella received 26% of the vote, followed by fellow Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen with 21% and Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa with 10%.
Interestingly, Rays manager Joe Maddon was listed as the fourth most popular manager as one players would want to play for.
