Maddon is very impressed with himself. Yet, he is the only active manager that thought outside of the box so much that he submitted a lineup with 2 third baseman thereby losing his DH for the game. As far as handling players, he has never been able to motivate BJ Upton to perform up to his capability. The guy continues to be a dog. I don't think much about Maddon. He might be a slight degree less stupid than most managers, but that ain't saying a lot.
