IMO we can speak of a roster initially made on paper by GMZ and then a team managed on field by Wedge. That could seem and easy assumption but there's much more behind it. I mean the impact of an old fashioned, hard noised and screaming manager like Wedge has been very very important both for some veterans looking for redemption and rookies looking for a guidance. He took all the right decisions so far (Ichiro day off included, about which I read elsewhere some sarcastic comments at the time). Wedge is a real major league manager in the Weaver mould.
