Category talk:Baseball managers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Criteria
This was the old criteria. I think it's way too strict, so I changed it. This category includes managers in major league baseball who meet any of the following criteria:
- They are the current manager of a major league team;
- They have managed a team to a league championship or postseason berth;
- They have at least 500 career victories as a manager.

- Well, I don't think we want hundreds of major league managers listed here when the team-by-team categories suffice. If you want to discuss reducing the requisite number of victories under the third qualifier, that's a different matter. And subcats for non-MLB areas are easily defined.

[edit] "coach"
There is no rule that category membership means "subset". So let's put managers in BOTH categories, rather than having all these reverts. Agreed? (Incidentally, MLB itself is confused. If you go to the Tigers roster and click on "Coaches", it will display the "Manager & Coaches".) --M@rēino 22:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't really have a problem with both cats being included under coaches by sport. My main concern was that the category for managers was dropped from coaches by sport; I think most users would be looking for managers rather than their assistants. As for the MLB site, I'd simply note that the manager heads the coaching staff, even if he isn't himself called a coach; and they likely aren't going to have separate pages for the manager and coaches.
