Re: Baseball managers are vastly overrated
To further expound on why Dynasty is wrong, the field manager is in charge of filling out a lineup card, giving his opinion to the front office about players in the minors and big leagues (how much weight it is given depends on the club - Oakland, basically nothing; San Francisco, a lot), tells the players to work with the hitting/pitching coaches, hits them fungoes and grounders, acts as their authority figure, and is in charge of all the other tertiary coaches (bench coach, hitting/pitching coaches, base coaches, etc).
Trust me when I say that a LOT of people are qualified for this job.
