Just finishing out his contract, indeed.

"Wait... What? We can't believe there is even talk of Torre being fired."

We're shocked. Shocked!


"If the Yanks are going to make a move like that, they should have done it last October or November, not in April."

Yes.

They should have done it last October or November.

Now it just seems like the Yankees threw good money after bad.


"Is an interim Don Mattingly going to have any more of an impact on these players than Joe Torre? Or is Joe Girardi, whom many of these guys barely know, going to have their full attention? Will Larry Bowa's yelling really fire up Jason Giambi and Hideki Matsui?"

Yes, yes, and yes.

Gosh. It sounds like you guys really don't think Mattingly or Girardi are potential future managers of Yankees.


"The Yankees should let Torre finish out this last season without swirling rumors, and bring in Girardi or Mattingly next year."

That's your solution?

Let Torre "finish out this last season"?

Also, I thought Don Mattingly would not have an impact and Joe Girardi would not grab the full attention of the players.

Didn't you just say that Don Mattingly would not have an impact and Joe Girardi would not grab the full attention of the players?
