That's one of the challenges of being a small market team. Have to have excellent work from the front office to fill as many holes as possible, and back that up with excellent work from the manager to cover holes/limit their impact on the field.
Basically, you need Joe Maddon+Andrew Friedman.
You need Terry Ryan+Tom Kelly or Ron Gardenhire
I think that's one of the things that has held Beane back in Oakland... he's never really had that top-flight manager.
