Yeah, I was thinking the same thing

Dont all players get along with Torre? Isn’t that why he is paid so much?

He is payed to put out a good strategy

it has nothing to do about dealing with the players, although that helps

All of them except Wedge

have won at least one World Series. Players are haters, I guess…

this poll is useless

I would assume ozzie envokes strong feelings either way — they should also say, “which manager would you most want to play for”?

They did that too.

Strangely, Joe Torre made the top 5 of both lists so the moral seems to be player polls don’t say much (unless they involve A.J.).
