If a manager has great players he is a great manager. If he has poor players he is a poor manager. Just check any high school, college or professional team. Has talent = wins, manager is great. Next year, talent leaves = last place. Stengel first place with the Yankees and last place with the Mets.
There are stories that Stengel asked the pitching coach to put a player in for relief and that player was not even on the team.
