I don't think managing a baseball team is nearly as complicated as someone like Ned would have you believe. Really, the big decisions are: 1) lineup 2) handling the pitching staff 3) maybe a double switch here and there in the NL. There's enough statistical data out there to make most of those decisions automatic. Having said that, I couldn't step in and just manage a team because I'd probably be second guessing myself all the time. Especially if stats said one thing and my instincts said something else. I probably wouldn't have the stones to go with stats over instinct. I'm guessing this is the same issue Ned has - exacerbated by caffeine addiction.
