At last count, there are roughly 6.65 billion people on earth, yet only around 18 have the requisite brains and people skills to capably helm a Major League Baseball team. (And only about half of those are actually employed at it.) We asked our readers to pick the worst of them, and you happily obliged. According to you, here are the five worst offenders, for reasons ranging from "inability to construct a functional batting order" to "propensity to viciously slur his own players in Spanglish."

5. Dave Trembley, Baltimore Orioles 
Why? Baltimore's bullpen spit the bit last season, so who do they give the managerial gig to? The guy in charge of the bullpen, naturally. Trembley’s path to the gig was a circuitous one; he’s the rare MLB manager who never played the game professionally. Also, we’re not sure if his name is “Dave” Trembley, or “Mike” Trembley, or “Mike Trombley.”
Prediction for 2008: Lots of bunting and prattle about “playing the game the right way” and all those other old-school standbys loved by franchises that lost their way in 1984. Given that the rebuilding Orioles can’t rationally expect to be any good until 2011, Trembley/Trombley might as well get “babysitter” inked onto his business cards.
