it's 5 years after retirement like players, I think he was working for someone's front office recently which might have kept him officially "active"

ETA: he last managed in 2013 for the Tigers, so he won't be eligible until after the 2018 season. apparently, front office work does not count towards eligibility, only "on the field" work like playing or managing. So, he's just not eligible for initial induction yet due to time!

I bet he gets in.
