He does what Ned doesn't want to or can't do.

Yost's biggest asset is his handling of young players. That's the only thing he was credited for in Milwaukee, which brought up a ton of young players at the same time under Yost.
I think with young players, you have to walk that line carefully. You want to be professionals and be able to accept bad calls as part of the game. But you also have to show them you have their backs.
