Talk:List of Major League Baseball managers by wins

message: The "Win Percentage" section qualifies the list as 400 minimum wins, but then pains to mentions that Joe Girardi would qualify but he doesn't have 400 wins.  Mentioning him here is useless, because he doesn't qualify--period.  If and when he reaches 400 wins, feel free to add him.63.239.65.11 (talk) 16:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason I had him included is due to him being the only current manager who has the win percentage to qualify. He is so close that I have considered expanding the table to 350 win managers to let him be on (and I was the one who created the arbitrary 400 win cutoff). I feel he is so close he does warrant a mention. If there were multiple managers in his situation, I would keep him off, but his is a unique situation. (Either way, it is not a pressing issue. Assuming he returns with the Yankees, he'll probably reach the 400 win mark sometime next June or so.) --- Dralwik|Have a Chat 20:58, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: How about having an extra section listing the records of the 25 current managers who aren't already on the list, without regard to number of games won or lost? That could be useful and interesting just by itself. And of course Girardi will float to the top of that list and can be moved to the other list once he hits the magic number. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, that is a good suggestion, although perhaps suitable for a different article. When I have time, I'll look into creating a third table, of all current managers sortable by wins, losses, and win percentage. Interestingly, the next two after Girardi in active managers not qualifying for the list were Ken Macha, at a .540 percentage, followed by Joe Torre at .538. Tony LaRussa is the returning manager with the best record (.535)  not to make the list after Girardi. Dralwik|Have a Chat 21:35, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe for that percentage table, instead of a minimum number of wins, how about a minimum number of games - kind of like with pitchers won-lost percentage, or analogous to batting average championship: Batters have to have 502 plate appearances, except that if they have, say, 482, and you add 20 outs, and they still come out on top, then they win. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. I'll try doing the list with a minimum of 600 games managed. Dralwik|Have a Chat 00:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Updated. The new cutoff increased the pool of managers from 156 to 211, but added only three slots to the list, one of which was Girardi (and also revealed that BR's list of managers sorts a little off by percentage, as I was checking by calculator). So this should settle this discussion. Dralwik|Have a Chat 00:33, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
