unfortunately the lacking FA market shows that the yankees will NEED to resign those who just about ready to leave, posada and rivera. and that means they need to get a mgr thay like, and do it FAST. easiest is to reach a 1-yr deal with torre. harder (as it takes more time) is to reach out to girardi. donnie would be interesting, but he's a wildcard. depends if mo and jorge would stay for him.

i'd like a change at the helm, but steinbrenner really made it a touchy situation by mouthing off. next year's mgr has to be decided on by next week.

since giambi is gone after next season, you could say posada could become the DH/backup C after two years. I don't mind that, although the yankees seem to be full of future DH's nowadays. who knows, maybe a FT C will become available sometime in the next 18 months, who will provide the bridge until the next prospect graduates to ML.
