While I understand the outpouring of love for Torre and what he has done with the Yanks, let's not overrate him as a manager. He went to the Yankees with a sub 500 record and rode a $200 M payroll to some postseason success. Consider that only two other franchises regularly had payrolls half the size of the Yanks, and I don't know why he hasn't won more in the last 8 years.
