Their true abilities reveal over the course of about 5 seasons. So you can't tell how good they are until they have been playing in the league for a couple years. Try to get guys with as many positive reports as possible, and prioritize what you think is important. See this thread for projecting manager abilities. The guys with no reputation are old managers who will never change (always all 10s). Generally you can find a new manager (with little or no experience) who is a better option.

My current manager does not look all that bad then (excellent teaching, good defense, above average hitting, unfortunately below average pitching)

I think its 100% performance/league level, and all salaries seem to rise over time with experience. So best to find a guy who has no experience but a good reputation. It can be a real pain searching through the managers though, and new ones pop up randomly through out the season. Your manager isn't too bad, and he is definitely fully revealed at this point, so no surprises. I'm bet you can do better, but it might take a lot of searching.
