Toughest job in baseball is the general manager. Second toughest is the hitting coach.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A baseball manager is a necessary evil.
I would probably say that being a commissioner in sports is one of the hardest jobs in the world.
A major league pitching coach is a really difficult job. It takes a big commitment in terms of time, travel and workload.
If I had any interest in coming back to baseball, it would be as a general manager and not as a manager.
Going back down to the minors is the toughest thing to handle in baseball.
Your job as a baseball player is to come to the park ready to play every day, and the manager, it's his job to make those decisions about who plays.
Drew McFedries was the hardest hitter I've ever been around. A big, strong, athletic guy with power. He didn't have to hit you with a hard shot or load up - even the little short shots could hurt you.
I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.
The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game.
Baseball is a simple game. If you have good players and if you keep them in the right frame of mind then the manager is a success.
