Watch him try to figure out what to do when his star player gets hurt.
Nothing throws teams for a loop more than injuries to All-Stars.
The Reds are the latest team to wrestle with the problem. Figuring out how to fill the lineup void created by injuries like these is often the easy part. Since no replacement can be expected to match the production of Garciaparra, Griffey or McGwire, teams are usually satisfied if stopgap players can simply avoid tripping over their own shoelaces on the way to the batter's box. Figuring out what to do with the stars themselves is the problem. The Reds have chosen the latter option.
