Tyrone Boykin

T-Bone

Four Midwest League seasons:

• Manager, Cedar Rapids [Angels] (2000-01)
• Coach, Cedar Rapids [Angels] (1998-2000)

Playing Career

• Drafted/Signed: Angels, free agent, 1991 (Stetson University)
• Professional Career: Angels system, 1991-96; mostly played at Midland in the Texas League.
• Midwest League: Played for Quad City in 1992.

Management style

Boykin's tactical decisions show less year-to-year consistency than most managers. After years of issuing just a handful of intentional walks, in 2005 his team issued 41. His stolen base attempt pattern's similarly unreliable. He seems less prone to call for sacrifices, these days; originally, he called for a bunt about every third game. (The decrease in complete games likely resulted from a change in the Angels' system preferences.)
