Don't you think that with the players Torre got that he SHOULD have been making the playoffs. I mean come on, the guy is blessed with a roster of future Hall of Famers. He won and should have. But they have been unable to get over that hump in the last few years. it was time for a change.
no solution? i think joe should have been able to stay, that's my solution.

as for the roster, for the 20 years preceding torres arrival, they didn't win jack. they had deep pockets then too, didn't they? i just think that torres twelve years were fine, i think steinbrenner is being unrealistic to expect a ring every year. hell, with joe, they averaged a ring every three years--not too shabby!
but, it's his team, he can do what he wants with it. and he has, so that's that.
