Rizzo Brings ‘More Professional’ Approach to Nats – The Post
Mike Rizzo is a lucky man right now — he is widely praised for basic, common sense professionalism.
For one month now, Rizzo has served as acting general manager, replacing Bowden, who resigned on March 1. Separated from Bowden’s flamboyant personality, the Nationals now operate with less carnival color but more corporate predictability. Within the clubhouse, players talk with appreciation about the change. Their general manager no longer walks into their domain, coffee in hand, cracking barbs about a guy’s latest 0 for 5. Rizzo keeps a steadier profile, very much willing to sign players for the clubhouse, but unwilling to sit on its sofas. “More professional,” is how two veterans describe the atmosphere.
I hope the Lerner family reads every one of these articles and kicks themselves for being so stupid keeping Jim Bowden so long.
