Let's see, you could have Davey Johnson's ability to think outside the box with lineup combinations, based on factors other than just lefty/righty. Earl Weaver seemed good at this as well. Casey Stengel of course.
Billy Martin's daring ingame strategies would be good. Anyone else? Herzog maybe?
Bobby Cox's ability to garner "undying loyalty and respect" from the players. Who else? Connie Mack? After the book, Joe Torre would be out.
Building/managing a bullpen--Herzog maybe. LaRussa also seems good at this.
Building/managing a rotation--Everyone thinks of pitching coaches more with this, but Herzog and Sparky Anderson seemed to somehow be able to piece together a serviceable rotation, no matter what the talent level. Stengel also.
Building a bench--Anderson, even when he had a dream lineup, also seemed to have a lot of bench players who could start for other teams, and gave them a lot of work. Also Davey and Earl.
Stocking a coaching staff--Walter Alston always seemed to have a person on his staff, such as Durocher, LaSorda, who you wouldn't think would be able to work, but also seemed to. Joe Torre has also had some deep coaching staffs, and Bobby Cox has sent a lot of coaches to managerial posts as well.
Working the umpire--Several folks here to choose from--McGraw, Weaver, Martin, Cox, Piniella.
Working the media--Anyone better than Stengel?
Am I missing any components or managers?
