Midwest League Managers

Tim Blackwell

One Midwest League season:

Manager, Clinton [Giants] (1985)

Playing Career

Drafted/Signed: Boston Red Sox, 1970, 13th round (Crawford HS, San Diego, CA; Third Baseman-Catcher)
Professional Career: Played ten big league seasons as a backup catcher for Boston, Philadelphia, Montreal, and the Cubs.
- Blackwell's major league career.

Management style

Blackwell's teams play for single runs; they bunt, they steal lots of bases. He rarely calls for intentional walks, though.
