I disagree. The team only took off when he was suspended(the second time) and Michaels and Showalter had the reigns

Michaels was the mastermind and Showalter was a great evaluator of talent. These guys were responsible for the Yankees being a powerhouse in 90s and naughts

  - He really did, more so after they weren't winning in the 80's. But I have no doubt in my mind that Stick Michaels built those teams - Krusty Jul 14, 16:45

    - Yes but the point was that the team turned around when he was suspended. It did and I think it had a lot to do with him not being able - Krusty Jul 14, 16:51
