Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
Everyone should care.
You should understand the reason why opponents aren't getting on base or scoring runs. Is it because of the pitcher striking out batters and not walking anyone? Or is it because he's been giving up screaming liners that happen to be hit right at fielders? Is the pitcher doing his job, or is he just getting lucky?
You're looking at the end result, but you also need to understand the means by which that result was achieved.

IslandRed's post to me at least suggests Saarloos might make a good reliever. He's not by any means a good starter.
