I was poking fun at the article, not you. But honestly im so indifferent when it comes to mangers. They could play without one for all i care..baseball is probably the one team sport where the head coach sits on his ass all game, doesnt really do anything and yet somehow gets the credit when the pitching/hitting coach do a lot more work.
Baseball is incredibly overated as a "team" sport, but it really comes down to a bunch of individuals in the grand scheme of things.
