Sandberg would probably get some fat, greasy fingers on some tickets. yeah, i definitely think that it's possible for a manager to sell tickets (in february, especially). the problem with that argument in this case is that the people smart enough to know how big a deal maddon is are also the people smart enough to know how marginal the value of a manager is. meatballs who think sandberg is going to yell at castro and make him promise not to make any errors are the ones who'll turn out better due to a manager.
