Why Baseball Managers Are Important

Many people say that a MLB manager is the least important of the coaches in professional sports. I personally don't agree with that statement. That is why in this post I will examine the intracies of the Major League manager.
First off, and most important is the usage of players. If you use a player too much that player could become fatigued, and therfore hurt your ball club. If a manager brings in the wrong pitcher from the bullpen, and that player gives up the game its the managers fault. If a manager puts a starting pitcher in the bullpen it can mess up the comrodery of the pitching staff as well.
Team chemistry is also very important. If a manager doesn't manager, and treat the players the way they think they should be treated, the players will lose respect for the coach. If you lose respect for your coach you are losing faith in your team. If they loses faith in the team it causes a division in the clubhouse. That can happen on the best, and the worst of teams, at any time. That is why one little mistake can devistate a managers tenure.
On the flip side, baseball is the easiest place for a manager to fake being a good coach. Take the Yankees for instince. In his early days Joe Torre would be caught sleeping on tv. The only reason he didn't get fired was that since he was the Yankees coach, he had terrific assistant coaches to run the team.
