Default Re: Torre must go

I dont think the problem is Joe Torre, the problem is the makeup of the roster isn't reallys suited for a guy like Torre anymore. Torre isn't the type to light a fire under someone's ass, and he didnt need to when we had Tino, Paulie, and Scotty around who didn't need anyone to give them a jolt. Unfortunately, those guys are no longer here and Torre's strength as a quiet but effective manager doesn't work so well anymore.

I love Joe, I think he's a great manager and deserving of a monument in Yankee stadium and in the HOF as a coach, but the current makeup of the roster just doesn't suit him, it's a mismatch. Right now, probably someone like Zimmer would be a better coach, if only to wake up our guys from their seemingly catatonic daydream.
