Maybe, maybe not. I don’t think we’ve seen enough of Harris to say he’s an exact anti-Dombrowski. We’ve seen them both come into dumpster fire situations and they have tried to clean up in different ways, I think that’s a fair assessment. But once they get to a level of success, how will they try to sustain?
Is this off-season for Harris akin to Dombrowski’s 2006-2007 off-season? I think this past season had more expectations than 2006, but at the same time, they are both coming off of postseasons and I’m not sure there’s a consensus on what this team is to do this off-season.
One thing to add is both teams have a top flight manager at the helm. Maybe this supporting staff is a bit better than the former collection? Certainly the public personas of the field captains are different from one another.
