If I had to make a prediction, I would say that this is the last year for Joe Torre with the Yankees, and Girardi will take over.
No way, Mattingly is next in line for it
It looks as though Mattingly is being groomed for the job, but if the Yankees fail again to win the WS, and Steinbrenner wants a change, I don't think an introvert like Mattingly has the disposition they'd be looking for.
Is Bowa with the team still? He is the anti-Torre, a get-in-your-face guy, who'll challenge anyone to do better. If they think current management is too complacent (and I don't), Larry Bowa brings fire.
