I was going to point this out on the expansion draft thread but you're 100% right. Sign of a great manager is getting more from less. With great rosters you expect them to pull through even with a sketchy manager like Atlanta & DeBoer but getting a group of players who are honestly all individually average (or worse) and still make the team successful is what proper managing is all about. Vanney has proven this and yeah our DPs are expensive and it drives up our total payrole but Vanney is getting a lot from the meat of the roster and the bench.
