No disrespect to Joe Torre, but he is an average manager. Anybody managing the Yankees could put together a winning managerial record with their wealth of talent & riches. A lot of it does have to do with payroll & the players you have. Some people may have deemed Lou Pinella as a great manager, but what did he ever do with the Devil Rays? Lou Pinella never had much to work with given Tampa Bay's low budget & minimal spending power. I have a feeling Torre would have had the same exact fate in Tampa or Kansas City like you mentioned.
