Management style

During Morman's years at Kane County, he was a fairly conventional Midwest League manager. He almost never calls for an intentional walk.

Worth knowing: Morman lost his position in the Marlins organization just before the 2002 season opened; like most of the Florida player development staff, he was let go when the ownership changed. I expect he caught on with the Red Sox that summer, but haven't been able to find any notice of that.
