True dat.
It sucks that you kind of have to settle for a either manager who relates well to his players (Lou, Dusty), or a manager who remotely understands strategy and percentages. I guess Torre is in the same category, and TLR on the other end of the spectrum.

If a manager is considered a good or great strategist, he is taking taking credit for wins away from his players. In the long run, to be considered a players manager, you can't be considered an above average strategy guy.
