I couldn't figure out a perfect way to start this thread, so I figured I'd just ask anyway. Since 1996, we've all known only Joe Torre as Yankee manager. He's lasted longer than any other manager under Big Stein, and she's taken us to the playoffs every year he's been here, which consequently, has increased the number of Yankee fans since then.
However, this never came without criticism, since he's been accused of overusing some relievers while underusing others. Some have even said he's slow to react to a pitcher getting lit up.
From Joe Girardi, what do you expect? Will have favor his vets and keep them in games, even ones where they can't hit or field? How do you think he'll handle the various personalities there? What do you think he'll do with the lineup, including when guys aren't hitting well? Do you feel that he'll do things with the bullpen that we had complained about with Joe Torre? Or do you feel that more pitchers will get a regular workout and not be either overused or going stale?
Whatever the various issues are on your mind about how Torre handled things, please provide sound arguments as to why you feel that Joe Girardi will either be similar or different in 2008. If you can, why those similarities or differences will be a good or bad thing.
Many thanks.
