Re: Baseball managers are vastly overrated

I think like 90% of SE posters already think this and say it often.

Those 90% are wrong. It's just plain stupid to think a knowledgable baseball fan could step in to a Major League manager's job and handle all the dynamics of it.
I doubt many of those 90% have any clue how a sports team functions off the field, especially at the professional level.
The 90% think they can do the job because they could set a line-up, choose a starting pitcher, call for a relief, and maybe even make a double-switch. They can't do the job because they don't even know everything else a manager is responsible for.
