Great column here about whether or not Jim Leyland, Mike Sciosia and Ozzie Guillen are Hall of Fame managers, or not.
The "hook" of the article is that each managed a World Series winner that, in all likelihood, did not have a single HOF player on it, a definite rarity.
That said, overall?
Leyland is below .500 for his career. Even balancing that with winning a pennant in both leagues, and coming close with the Pirates, and I'd say no.
Guillen hasn't managed long enough for us to say one way or another, but, stay tuned. Could he survive some other place besides the South Side? How long will he stay there?
Sciosia? A second pennant, even without a WS, would probably boost him over the edge. A second WS would make him a lock, I think.
