New York Yankees Baseball

Do or Die for Torre and the Team

October 7th, 2007

According to reports on Newsday.com, it appears that "the Boss" is back in form. After a rather quiet season from Mr Steinbrenner, relatively speaking, George has apparently told the Bergen Record that anything less than a comeback from 0-2 will cost manager Joe Torre his job.

“His job is on the line,” Steinbrenner told the Record. “I think we’re paying him a lot of money. He’s the highest-paid manager in baseball, so I don’t think we’d take him back if we don’t win this series.”

Assuming, arguendo, that the Yankees cannot pull off the comeback and Joe Torre is indeed fired as the New York Yankees Manager, who would you like to see take the helm? Most observers believe that Don Mattingly is the heir apparent, but until he lands elsewhere I wouldn’t rule out (and happen to prefer) Joe Girardi.
