“Deliberate and attentive to detail, John was pegged as “manager material” back in his Minor League playing days. After spending 10 years in the Pirates farm system and three years as a Pittsburgh coach, he made his Major League managerial debut in 2008. The Pirates made modest improvement (two more wins than in ‘07) in the standings, but Russell hopes a foundation based on fundamentals will pay dividends.“
