" I am very Le Brock Sam please be joined about four Major League GM Jim Bolden Jim thank you for joining us want to talk about the American League stretch run right now have a different managers and different teams. Might handle the pressure here no summer swoon the Texas Rangers here tonight change for them but what do you think Ron Washington. Is going to do that down the stretch how will he handle the pressure."

" Or Ron Washington has done a phenomenal job so far. He's taken organization that was hitting oriented -- change of the pitching and defense. The big move came in spring training when he moved Michael Young shortstop to third base and how we had to shortstop and left side of the infield. That's only been done twice before course Alex Rodriguez when he moved forward Derek Jeter and of course and Tony Fernandez went to third base for Barry Larkin Cincinnati. But it's really work they're gonna pitching deep sense that brought up -- won't. An -- speed with him and Elvis Andrus but the pitching has been the story Ron Washington's handling of the bullpen. With the young kidnapped -- police in the seventh inning C. J. Wilson the eighth inning and Frank Francisco in the ninth inning. Make the Texas Rangers the actual favorite to earn a wildcard yet the favorite gap over the Red Sox because the job Ron Washington has done he's been steady. Quiet a leader he's really got a good job -- on their pitching staff. Notable Ron Washington ten years as a player three years as manager never been to the post season. This could be the year for him tied a central Tigers White Sox Jim Leland Ozzie Guillen. Contrasting styles what are your thoughts on these guys other opposite styles Jim -- and of course one of the best -- of our time. This guy communicate with the players he's honest up front. Patient supportive of all of his players which are extremely important opinion Jim -- just a total winner look during the season. Gary Sheffield he didn't they could play gone -- driving -- can play gone Magglio Ordonez we have reduced his playing time no problem Rick were so. From high school in the big -- not a problem helped us win. Jim -- has over -- with -- baseball team he's the complete winner now. Ozzie -- Is an absolute loose cannon for about all of that so it's kind of got me. Acts before I think and by the way yeah he got Jerry Reinsdorf a World Series ring -- as -- this method -- work it's just completely different. If there's one got to go blow down the stretch you've got to always look again although we've already want I'd bet my money on we little White Sox have a better team and he could be good golf at any time really Joe Girardi interesting study here on this guy. -- Florida he was very intense guy you think maybe go to New York you'd have to up the intensity. Seems to have I would back little bit has been effective for the Yankees always been really -- and the job he did with the Marlins was amazing he's really structured. He's the most prepared manager in baseball. He really wants to win but he's made adjustments in New York he -- Alex Rodriguez situation. In spring training extremely well. His -- resting on his veterans players -- has been like at ten your manager just a phenomenal job that he's rework the bullpen setting up to get to Mariano Rivera. In a tremendous way. But he can handle the New York media he can handle the front office he can heal the Steinbrenner family. And now he knows he made the right decision when he turned down the nationals before they hired me any act and waited for the Yankee job. It didn't do with a Yankee type payroll he can win a World Series and he might just do that this year and all the guys that you -- obviously great managers but each one might be missing a little something. Not so for Mike Scioscia not so from Mike Scioscia -- social right now is the best manager in all of baseball because he has every element. He has the brains like Tony La Russa and Jim Leland. He's got the preparedness of a Joe Girardi he's got the motivational skills of -- loop and -- he can evaluate players. He has a very steady hand a solid baseball guy. This guy right now the best guy baseball as far as -- baseball you know all the respect in the world from his players and every other player in the early."

" Hi Jim thanks lap time in the knowledge. Appreciate him of course and don't forget foxsports.com has you covered for all of you baseball -- vote I'm Barry LeBron see you next."
