Brewers name Macha their new manager

October 30, 2008 By WRN Contributor

Ken Macha The Milwaukee Brewers named Ken Macha their new field manager today (Thursday).  Macha signed a two-year contract through the 2010 season and becomes the 17th manager in franchise history. 

The 58 year old Macha has four seasons of Major League managerial experience with the Oakland Athletics (2003-06).  He owns a career record of 368-280 (.568).  Under his leadership, the Athletics won 96, 91, 88 and 93 games, respectively, and captured the American League West Division championship in 2003 and 2006. 

Macha's .568 winning percentage ranks second to Hall of Famer Dick Williams (.603) in Athletics franchise history.
