No, I think Joe stays for one more year at least or retires sometime during next season because a health reasons (from the BOSS!). The BOSS would make a grave mistake with the Yankee faithfully if he fired him now. I think Joe Giradi will be the next Yankee manager.

It's meaningless. They need pitching.

The Yankees got old right in front of our eyes. They are not really that deep in minor league prospects and have given up so many draft picks signing free agents that they are really in trouble. Shefield, Giambi, Bernie, Posada, Matsui, Unit, Mussina, Mariano, Damon are all on the downside of their careers. Jaret Wright is not a good pitcher, the bullpen is a mess outside of Proctor who was overused because everybody else stinks. Mariano is strictly a one inning guy who lost velocity (K rate was way down, bad sign) Jeter has some prime years left and Cano should continue to develop (though he is very mediocre in the field). Posada is only a 110 game guy if he is going to remain effective as he gets into his later 30's. Wang's a nice pitcher but outside of Hughes there are no more Major league ready pitchers in that system. They will most likely go hard after Zito but I believe that there is a question of whether he is a NY guy. This is a team with huge issues along with an ungodly amount of money owed to guys that simply can't get it done anymore.
As for Arod, who'll take the salary, except red sox and you know THAT wont happen and even if you do get rid of him, who are you going to get to replace him? Joe Randa?
