Ranger Managerial Candidates

Ranger Managerial Candidates:

Trey Hillman:
2003, the Fighters went 62-74-4 and missed the playoffs.
2004, the Fighters went 66-65-2, made the playoffs, and lost to the Lions 2 games to 1.
2005, the Fighters went 62-71-3 and missed the playoffs.
2006, the Fighters turned things around, and went 82-54 and became the Pacific League Champion – Currently in the finals.

Hillman spent a number of seasons in the Yankees minor league system coaching for 12 years. Three times he coached his team to first place and once he walked away with as League Champs. Something notable is in the 12 seasons, only three went under 500 mark. His overall record was 855-771 (that’s 84 games over 500) with a .526 winning percentage. In Japan, he’s had to take a cellar team and bring it up out of the ashes. And based on what has happened over the last three seasons, I would say he’s done quite a good job. Keep in mind, the playoff win in 2004 was the first for the Fighters in 34 or 35 years, and this year, the team is in the Finals, looking to be the CHAMPS of it all. In the four seasons thus far, his record is 272-264-9 (not counting playoff games) and a .507 winning percentage. Everything combined, he has a 1127-1035-9 record with a .521 winning percentage.
