Look the bottom line comes down to this, if you're given good players ownership expects you to win, McCarthy, Stengel, & Torre are perfect examples. But you also have to be lucky enough to have those good players work for you & excel for you. Not every manager is lucky enough to succeed even when given the pieces. Sometimes the chemistry is just not there.

 

Exactly.

 

^^^ lol...how many coaches are let go after very recent "successes"?

...3rd time;..."why wasn't Torre ever "successful" as a coach before he came to NY?"

 

...well, it's about f'n time.

...and Girardi was never given the teams for multiple years like McCarthy, Stengel, and Torre were given.

 

Hell I thought I made that fairly obvious in post #41

 

...cute, nice dodge...now, why not answer?

 

...rick, I thought it was fairly obvious that I wasn't talking to you.

 

...lol....again, it's about time.

 

Okay, okay, don't hit.

 

Yeah because how can you win with guys like Matsui, A-Rod, Jeter, CC, Mariano, Giambi, Cano, Grandson, etc etc, Seriously, how can you win with that shit. Poor Girardi. I mean just look at this 08 line up, its a joke........

Or win with this shit line up. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYY/2011.shtml


Yeah Girardi just NEVER had the players.

 

...bless your heart.

...now please go back and read what has been said and put things in their proper context.





...here, I'll help you out. The question was why Torre was never successful before he came to NY.

 

I don't know who this question is for but.....if I may, I'll take a wild guess & say because he never had the players.

 

...yup.
