The old General Steinbrenner would have dumped Torre after the 2002 Yanks/Angels series....if not, definately after Bostons classic comeback. No---he has mellowed a bit. Thats why Im just a tad surprised over this, and wont really believe it till it actually happens. Torres managing, to me, just isnt the real core of the Yankees problems. Firing him doesnt seem to be the way to start addressing their dilemma, IMO.
