If you think they're not good at pitching, rate them a 5 or something. But zero seems absurd to me, especially for a guy who's taken teams to the world series in both leagues.
I agree with damonrusst. If someone has been managing awhile I would think he has to know something about pitching. Some managers also are in control of doing trades so they must know a little bit about pitching. Also managers are the ones to call guys in from the pen and make up the starting rotation so I believe they know something about it.

Well almost every manager but Dusty Baker, he only knows how to ruin pitchers.
