Dude, MLB managers decide who the starting pitcher is for a game. They determine the line-up. You only have so many slots in MLB. An MLB manager, in terms of effect on the game, has MUCH more effect on an individual game than an NFL coach does.
Yet, even in MLB, superior talent makes superior teams. Good players win, good coaches help them win MORE.
