"Some debate remains over the context and clarity of Joe Torre's reported remarks concerning a potential move to center field for either Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez, but Yankees GM Brian Cashman made it very clear yesterday that - regardless of what Torre did or did not say - neither of the Yanks' superstars is going anywhere."
Joe Torre talks crazy and Sam Borden notices.
So does a guy at Newsday and a guy at the Post and even a guy at the Star-Ledger.
Joe Torre is confusing and contradictory and this is news? Something got "lost in the translation?"
Where was Sam Borden when Joe Torre said that Tony Womack batted leadoff because he can do some things?
Where was Sam Borden when Joe Torre said ARod had to play third base because it was important to show loyalty to the old-time Yankee players and then, in the next sentence, Joe Torre explained with a straight face that Kenny Lofton was starting in centerfield instead of Bernie Williams?
Where was Sam Borden when Joe Torre said he doesn't have to explain his decisions?
Where was Sam Borden when Joe Torre pitched Alan Embree against Paul Konerko?
Where was Sam Borden when Vladimir Guerrero hit a grand slam off of Kevin Brown and Joe Torre said the homerun wasn't really the problem because, if the bases weren't loaded, the homerun wouldn't have been a grand slam?
You have to remember something when you talk to Joe Torre aobut his centerfield options. This is a man who played Tony Womack in centerfield on purpose. Probably had to get Womack's bat in the lineup so he could do some things offensively and he's a veteran and he needs to feel comfortable.
Joe Torre was not misunderstood and his remarks were not taken out of context. Joe Torre just doesn't know what is going on.
