Southwest Michigan [Devil Rays] (2005)

Playing Career

Professional Career: 11 years in the minors; 4 Triple-A seasons; Royals, Dodgers, & Braves organizations.

Management style

Szekely has been a fairly conventional manager to this point. He doesn't hand out many intentional walks. He's demonstrated some ability to improve weakly-talented teams.
