Just going by pure career win-loss record isn’t any less misleading. Don’t forget, he took over a terrible team that had just lost over 100 games and was about to do it again (and lost 93 in his second year at the helm). If you take out those 78 games he was under .500 through two years, his record looks much better.

Joe Maddon was not available when they hired Williams. Still a shitty hire though.

Eh, I’m a Nats fan and longtime Post reader so I know that Boswell is not saying Mike Rizzo is worth a contract of any particular size. I suspect the author of this article is well aware of this as well but needs something to attract clicks this morning. ; )
