As we count down to Spring Training, here’s the fourth installment of my ’10 Things I’m Watching In 2015′ series. Today’s topic: first year managers.

Six Major League Baseball teams will begin the 2015 with a new manager at the helm. The Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers will enter Spring Training with a variety of expectations and hopes that the new manger can lead the team to heights the previous regime was unable to reach.

Since teams change managers for a variety of reasons and teams have varying levels of expectations, it’s unfair to grade every manager on the same scale, but it is interesting to look at how all the current managers fared in their first seasons at the helm.

Arizona Diamondbacks: Chip Hale

Hale is entering his first season as a professional manager.

Atlanta Braves: Fredi Gonzalez

Gonzalez has managed eight seasons and went 89-73 in his first season with the Braves. In his first ever season as a manager he led the Marlins to a 71-91 record.

Boston Red Sox: John Farrell

Farrell is the dream scenario for managers taking over a new team as he led the Red Sox to a World Series title and a 97-65 record in his first season in Boston. Farrell began his career with the

Blue Jays and went 81-81.
