As another season closes for the Yanks speculation blows in New York City the wind. Here are some questions:
Will Joe Torre be fired? Is going to the playoffs every year in tenure and winning the Series 4 times not good enough?
Who will replace him? Pinella, Girardi??
Jason Giambi overcame the roids (we think he is off) regaining his power stroke, but will the Yankees cut ties?
Is Mike Mussina done in pinstripes?
What about Gary Sheffield and Big Unit?
And the big question where will A-Rod go? Do you expect him to be a Yankee? Do you think his pretty boy ego can take another year of criticism from the fans and his peers?
I think Torre is a product of just having great talent at his disposal. And I am not taking anything away from Torre because he is a great manager. But I don't think it is his fault. He can't go hit balls and he doesn't take the mound or play defense. He can't stop A-Rod from making errors. I bet if Torre wanted to bench A-Rod he would get so much heat from The Boss. Look Bernie Williams...he had to take a backseat once Sheffield, Matsui, and Damon came along. I remember when the Yanks were winning and every time I would see Bernie come to the plate I knew it would be a hit. I know he is old but sometimes all it takes is heart to infect an entire team. Steinbrenner thinks he can just buy a title but it takes more chemistry than money and stars to make a champion.
For the Yankees to be the world beaters again they need to go back to the basics. Bring up the homegrowns and leave the Unit's and Chefs in the retirement home.
*A-Rod was taken to Joe Torre for yanking Wang, but I think he should have yanked the Big Unit way earlier.*
I will add more as the news comes out in the next few months but I would love to hear from actual Yankees fans as well as baseball fans in general. The Empire has fallen again, another year of Rebel dominance. Take that Palpatine..cough...cough...I mean George.
