Joe Torre was introduced as the Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. I would like to congratulate him on moving from one powered franchise on the East coast to the Yankee like team in the National, on the west coast. I believe he will bring a World Series ring to LA.He is bring along Mr Yankee, Don Mattingly as his hitting coach and Larry Bowa will either become his bench coach or third base coach. Can Joe win world series with the Dodgers as he has in New York? Will he get the same payroll and talent? What is everyone expectation on how well he will do?
I would Like to introduce the new manager of the New York Yankees....

Joe Girardi has accepted the job as the manger of the New York Yankees. Girardi was offered the job over to great guys. Don Mattingly was a lot of the fans choices, Tony Pena is a great player motivator that can get a lot out of his players. The Yankees decided to pick experience over popularity. Girardi in my opinion is the better choice. Mattingly was an all around good player, but what experience does he have? Sure he has been with the Yankee the last couple of years as hitting instructor and bench coach. Girardi took the youngest team with the lowest payroll in baseball to an above 500 record and almost got them in the playoffs.
My feeling is Joe Girardi, knows the game well. He was a catcher so he will be able to judge his pitchers and when they are needed to be pulled. This also may help the Yankees bring back player such as Marino Rivera and Jorge Posada.
I will say it now Joe Girardi is going to win Manger of the Year next year and the Yankees are going to close down Yankee Stadium with another World Series Ring.
Yankees Fans we will have a new manager in about 2 days I am thinking. But, the question I have is who will it be? I have a couple of people in Mind.
Joe Girardi- He was there catcher from 96 to 2000 so he knows what it is like in the Bronx. As he was manager of the year in 2006 with the Florida Marlins.
Don Mattingly- He bleeds Yankee blue. Was the first base for them until 1995. Never has won a world series. He has been the bench coach for 4 years and is George Steinbrenner's Choice for Mangers. ( That being said what the boss Say's goes.)
Lou Piniella- He also bleeds Yankee Blue. This is a Long Shot, since he is managing the Chicago Cubs. But don't count him out.
I have given you my choices any one else have an opinion let me know who your choice is?
