The recent ranking of Dave Roberts as the ninth-best manager in Major League Baseball has sparked quite a debate among Dodgers fans and analysts alike. After leading the team to its second World Series title in five years, many are left scratching their heads at this seemingly disrespectful placement.

What do you think? Is this ranking a fair assessment of Roberts' capabilities, or does it overlook the significant challenges he faced last season, including a depleted pitching rotation? Some argue that his ability to navigate through injuries and still secure a championship should place him much higher on the list.

Moreover, how do you feel about the managers ranked above him, like A.J. Hinch and Dave Martinez? Do their accomplishments truly eclipse what Roberts has achieved with the Dodgers?

Let’s also talk about the future. With the Dodgers gearing up for another season, what bold predictions do you have for the team and Roberts' management style? Will he continue to prove the doubters wrong, or is there a chance we might see a shift in the team's dynamics if they struggle early on?

Join the conversation and share your thoughts! What’s your take on Roberts’ ranking, and how do you see the Dodgers performing this season under his leadership?
