He has no experience whatsoever, I think it would be a mistake to name him manager. If he wants to go toil as an A Ball manager somewhere and earn it, then fine, but right now, leave him in the booth.
Grace didn't even know what the relevance of OBP was two years ago. He is a lousy commentator because he doesn't grasp or properly weigh a lot of subtleties. He might make a good hitting coach, but that's all. He's never managed in the minors, and he doesn't have the personality to run anything skillfully.
I assume they've been grooming Matt Williams, actually, although with his financial stake in the team, that may not work well. Not saying he'd be my choice, but he'd be better than a lot of names being kicked around.

He would give the team an identity which they badly need right now, but at the same time his inexperience and inability to keep his opinion to himself would probably put the team around the same place they are now. He'd be another Ozzie Guillen, which means either really good or really bad.
