I gave him a B for managing. I do believe there are definitely better managers in the league for in game decisions. However, I give him an A+ for establishing teamwork and maximum effort. I don't think I've ever seen a White Sox team in my lifetime that runs hard to first base on every ball hits or makes an effort to move a runner from 2nd to 3rd with no outs so strongly. Little things win games and its activities like this that have us outperforming the expectations of most people.

The 2005 club could beat you with a blast a bloop or a bunt. They were top five in the league if I remember right in home runs, sacrifice flies, sacrifice bunts, infield hits and stolen bases. They were very well rounded offensively.

If he likes the bunt that can be a postseason killer, playing for one run here and there rather than letting Muni, Vargas, Colson, Beni, etc do some lifting and pulling.
