I'll go with Knoblauch. Johnson and Wally Moon had very similar stats, but Johnson played great defense.

I started a thread on MLB forum.

I posted this on here 11 years ago, so the rankings might have changed a little:

A quick look at some stats:
1) 1,372 - 1,071 record (ranks 28th all-time with 20 of the 28 in the HOF)
2) .562 winning percentage (ranks 13th all-time, minimum 1000 games, with 11 in the HOF)
3) Twice voted Manager of the Year
4) Finished in the top 3 voting for Manager of the Year 7 times
5) Only 3 teams in 17 years finished with a losing record
6) WS ring with the 1986 Mets
7) 7 of his 12 teams (He managed 5 teams for less than 162 games) finished with 90+ wins with the 1994/1995 strike shortened seasons well on pace for 90+ wins
8) Reached the postseason 6 times; finished in 1st during the 1994 strike season (he managed 8 years when there were only 2 team per league making the playoffs).

He also had a knack for winning with mediocre teams. He took over the Mets in 1984 when they hadn't had a winning season in 7 years. Took over for the Orioles in 1996 when they hadn't made the playoffs since 1983, and took over for the Nationals who hadn't had a winning season since they were the Expos.

Oh yeah, different category. Joe Torre runs that club, I guess.

Imagine playing under Weaver in four WS then taking the Mets to their second WS championship after losing to them under Weaver in 1969…

I was at the Burgess Banquet last night and was scrolling through the program and noticed his name. Took a screenshot and sent it to my buddy as the 1986 Mets are my favorite baseball team of all time and one of his as well. Even pointed to his name in the program to my Mom sitting at our table.

Then I see this news and am in a state of shock at the timing.
