Usually the person that follows the popular guy doesn't do quite as well, and perhaps they didn't want that to happen to Mattingly. So Joe will manage a couple of years, perhaps not do as well as expected, then the "favorite son" Mattingly can swoop in to save the day.
What does your inner female say?
