10 MLB players who are manager material

Torii Hunter: He is one of the greatest team leaders in sports, has fabulous street smarts, and isn't afraid to criticize his teammates.

Raul Ibanez: He knows the game inside and out, and has certainly proven this October that pressure won't faze him.

Derek Jeter: You think he'll have the attention of every player the minute they walk through that clubhouse door?

Paul Konerko: The Chicago White Sox think so highly of him that they considered making him a player-manager last year before the hiring of Robin Ventura.

Mark Kotsay: He has played with good teams and bad ones and always has drawn tremendous respect. He's a natural.

Scott Rolen: He understands the inner workings of every job in baseball. He could be a shrewd GM as easily as a manager. Few players are more respected in this game.

Jim Thome: He's the younger version of Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.

Omar Vizquel: His type of bravado can make a manager great.
