Skinner New Phillies Manager Seeks Offense Over Bunt Tone
Bob Skinner, named Phillies skipper on June 15, says he is an offensive manager who prefers scoring two or three runs rather than sacrificing outs. The former Pirates and Cardinals outfielder first managed San Diego to an Eastern Division title, replacing Gene Mauch who was fired after 1968. Skinner expects a learning curve reuniting with NL players and values his friendship with Mauch while stressing Rich Allen remains a top talent for Philadelphia.
