"The fact Tingler has never been the voice of a franchise will continue to loom. Preller can point to this postseason’s inclusion of eight major-league managers who came into their respective jobs as rookies themselves, but most of those organizations had a recent history of winning. The Padres, by contrast, have not secured a playoff berth since 2006. As Green discovered, changing the culture in San Diego has been an unenviable task. Inside the clubhouse, sources said he struggled to connect with 25 different personalities. That became increasingly obvious as the losses piled up after this year’s All-Star break and a team led by Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer submitted embarrassing efforts. After Green’s exit, some players expressed a wish for a veteran replacement.Can Tingler, essentially the opposite, earn the respect of established big-leaguers while simultaneously fostering the development of the Padres’ upcoming talent? People who know Tingler say he has a more forceful, strong-willed personality than Green, an interesting quality in someone who, fairly or not, might be perceived as a simple extension of the front office. The same people, some of them major leaguers who have played under Tingler, tend to rave about his fearlessness and ability to relate to players from disparate backgrounds." theathletic.com/1322469/2019/10/24/why-a-j-preller-and-the-padres-decided-to-bet-on-another-rookie-manager-in-jayce-tingler/Dennis writes some great stuff.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Asking padres fans to buy in to yet another unknown, unproven, manager and kick the competitive can down the road is s#!++y IMO
