LaRussa has been innovative, but is more of a strategist than a "run the clubhouse, run the whole organizational chain" type of guy that Cox is.
Torre was in the right place at the right time; there's no doubt that he was perfect for the Yankees at that time, but I have a strong feeling that 50% of all good managers could have won consistently with those players.
To me, Cox is up there with Stengal and McGraw.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
LaRussa's strategery is on par with the Popeil Pocket Fisherman...seemingly innovative, but fucking pointless.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
