The manager got to be a fan of the player too and the player gets paid for saves. just look at Mo & Paps.

I'm pretty sure the manager is paid to win games first and foremost.

 

And I'm sure the Phillies are delighted that Papelbon has locked down a mighty 23 games for them this season while they compete for last place.

That's baseball, the manager got to see the young players hit the cutoff man, throw to the right base, put out the fires, learn to pitch 7 or8 innings or they won't be around long to make the big bucks and so is life.
