I tell you what, you guys must really do value managers more than I do. Always bitching about Ned this, Ned that, and that it's Ned's fault they are 4-7. I get it, Ned isn't very good. It's not even really a big deal, and he's certainly not the cause for the lack of production of guys that HAVE produced in previous seasons.

Baseball managers are the least important leadership position in all of sports. Baseball is the most individual game out of the major 5 sports (soccer, basketball, hockey, football, baseball). While team chemistry can account for a few wins here and there, it really isn't very important, just like the manager has very little effect on the grand scheme of things. You could make Duncan Idaho or even a reerun like PB the Detroit Tigers manager and they would barely skip a beat, would still win the Central.
