I know this is abit far fetched but stay with me on this. Example: Charlie Manuel of the Philadelphia Phillies thinks that Brad Lidge should still be the closer.

D) No – Being a manager is very stressful and isn’t the right job for me.
E) NO – I would hate that responsibility and would not enjoy it at all.
X) Create your own custom answer.
