Thread: Joe Torre, we hardly knew ye!

I would love to see Torre get a job anywhere....just so that he can be exposed as the most overrated manager in the history of baseball. If I were the Dodgers I'd avoid him like the plague.

Strategy wise and in game stuff, I think Torre is fine. I don't think he's the greatest manager in the world but he's certainly not the worst.

I can see why some people see him as being overrated, you have to admit though he has done a great job of managing ego's over the years.

Other than his overuse of his bullpen guys I think he's a solid manager. He's not terrible and he's not the greatest.

It's kind of like the Phil Jackson thing. Yea, he's always had talent, but that talent never went anywhere before Jackson/Torre got to the jobsite.
