11 days till pitchers and catchers....why not talk Yankee baseball?
First I am glad Andy Pettitte took the Yankees offerwith incentives. Last year Andy was 14-14 with 158 strike outs. This year he has a chance to make a lot of money iincentives and could make what he made last year with a good year. Plus if he is the fourth or fifth starter the pressure wont be all on him.
As for Joe Torre I would never bash him for what he did. In my book he should be up there with great Yankee managers and great Yankees. As I heard him speak on Larry King the other night about his book "The Yankee Years"he seemed like a man who was very hurt the way he was treated in New York and was wanted to get it all out.
I remember as a young boy there was a lot of controversy around the Jim Bouton book "Ball Four" where a lot of the old timers said he should of keep it in the clubhouse and never let out. Seems like Torre did the same thing where he is trying to hurt someone the way he was.
It is a tough call but I want to read the book. How often do you get that close to what goes on behind the screens straight from the horses mouth.
One of my favorite things is to see what numbers the players get issued in spring training. it will be something if someone...maybe a non roster player or a back up catcher...gets #6. Stay tuned
