Steinbrenner is so damn overated. he spends all this money year in and year out, trades away prospects of the future usuallu for big name guys that are well past their prime and people act like he's something.
Just another case of people not getting it. I see it everyday.
Just like Joe Torre. Why does anyone give him credit? Real tough to be a baseball manager. The "coaching" is very minimal at this level. Not to mention, you have about 7 people to share it with. You have a hitting coach, pitching coach, 1st and 3rd base coach, bullpen coach, and bench coach. It's so sad. Baseball managers deserve zero credit.
I remeber reading a thread on here awhile back saying it wasn't long ago where people didn't think blacks ciould be baseball managers, but now those people are no where to be heard from. i had to LOL at that one. As if they are some kind of genious or something.
Here's their big decision of the night. "Bring in the lefty" Real freakin tough.
As to Steinbrenner, for what he spends, he has to ask himself daily about his smarts. It's no secret he'll spend a fortune, but it sure doesn't show for what they ashould have.
You could compare them to the Knicks except at least the Yanks make the postseason.
