Will Joe Torre make it through the season as the MFY's manager?

All i know is that Dice-K Matsuzaka is the most over-payed picther in the MLB.

Hence why I brought Francona into the discussion to prove statistically his worth is equal to or less than Torre's. So Francona sucks too right?

Frankly, with the $$$ Boston is willing to throw into their payroll, they should be winning the World Series every year too right? 50 mil less than the Yankees yet 25 mil more than the next team. Definitely no free pass out of the "spendaholics" club...

sure thing. everybody sucks.

Dude, he's played ONE month in the majors. Hardly enough time to judge that.

Seriously. There's also Beckett and Schilling to consider :p

If Carl Pavano is making more than $0, he is the most overpaid pitcher in baseball.

He didn't pitch in a single game in 2006.

I think yes, but if they do not win the World Series this year or at least play in the WS, he is fired during the off season or "resigns".

Basically, if your arguement is that the head coach of a baseball team has little to no impact on the team's performance, why would Torre be to blame?

Someone has to be the scapegoat. George isn't stepping down. Cashman and Torre are first on the chopping block.

And I never said Torre sucks, just that he's overrated like every other manager in MLB.

That's what I was trying to get at. This is not Torre's fault but is Cashman's...

 

[sears3820]

I never called him a virtuoso; who did? I'm just defending him in this scenario where I feel there is misplaced blame.

Directly? No

Indirectly? Likely, read your comments.

:tongue2:

Not sure why I'm even responding to this garbage, but here it goes.....

He's not even the most over-paid on his team. Matt Clement is raking in $9.5 million this year.

Mike Hampton takes the honor for being the most overpaid pitcher in MLB and it's not even close.

I'm still going to say Carl Pavano...
