But it's more of a factor than you seem to think. Honestly, I think the most important managerial factor is in how they handle the clubhouse. Balancing PT, managing personalities and morale, having a good plan for keeping the team organized and etc. Tactical decisions are more of "does he do a bunch of stupid shit that exposes his players to injury or failure" factor. I don't think a great tactical manager is worth much. A bad tactical manager, one who overuses his best bullpen arms, or who consistently leaves his starters in too long, etc. can do a lot more damage than a genius tactical guy can do good.

He then was our catching coach for a while -- he was the one who got Salvy to do that "whipping/poke motion" to try to frame pitchers that helped result in Salvy to be among the worst in the league at framing pitches. And beyond that, he was just always sort of around -- sort of in roles epitomized by this gif (Salvy seemed to like him, tho, FWIW). ![]() We haven't had much to cheer about. But hey -- watching the White Sox quit is always fun no matter what year it is (did they really blow their window with nothing to show for it other than a pitstop by Tony La Russa?)

I'd rather not compete for top 3-5 picks with the rest of the division

Twins -1.5 was the easiest money of my life. Might as well profit off these bums.
