***The OFFICAL Yankees Offseason Speculation Thread***
Is Torre coming back? Mel(please, no!)? Bernie([img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img])?
Will Steinbrenner start executing employees? Will Matsui re-sign? Which free agents are coming to NY? It's going to be a looooooong offseason, but let the speculation begin.

So, you want Torre out? [/ QUOTE ] No, and I think he will come back. 2 years and 13 million, who wouldn't? With what he has done with this team this year, after the awful start, I don't see how anyone could doubt him being a top 5 manager in the biggs (i know you haters are out there). Without Torre in '05, the Yanks wouldn't have made the playoffs, let alone take it to 5 games against a team everyone had beating the yanks anyways.

The fault for the Yanks recent futility is mostly due to bad decision making in the offseason. ie:Steinbrenner not listening to his "baseball people"

Torre will be back.
Mel will not (by his own choice). Bernie I put at 50/50 to resigning the Yanks or not resigning. Matsui will almost certainly be back. Brian Cashman... 50/50 again whether he is coming back or not. I think the GM position is the biggest off season move we will see, as this affects everything else.

Re: ***The OFFICAL Yankees Offseason Speculation Thread***
They need a center fielder. I think this is the problem the yankees have if you compare the World Series Championship years and 2001 on.
Top 5 HR leaders for the yankees during their WS years. 2000 Bernie Williams OF 30 Jorge Posada C 28 David Justice OF 20 Paul O'Neill OF 18 Scott Brosius 3B 16 1999 Tino Martinez 1B 28 Bernie Williams OF 25 Derek Jeter SS 24 Chili Davis DH 19 Paul O'Neill OF 19 1998 Tino Martinez 1B 28 Bernie Williams OF 26 Paul O'Neill OF 24 Darryl StrawberryDH 24 Scott Brosius 3B 19 1996 Bernie Williams OF 29 Tino Martinez 1B 25 Paul O'Neill OF 19 Cecil Fielder DH 13 Ruben Sierra DH 11 2005 Alex Rodriguez 48 Gary Sheffield 34 Jason Giambi 32 Hideki Matsui 23 Derek Jeter 19 Does anybody see the pattern?
