Thread: It's Official: Joe Torre is the new LA Dodgers Manager

I fear for the well-being of Broxton

Also, we'll see how good of a manager he really is since he won't have a star-studded roster like he did with the Yanks

Anyone know if A-Rod will be coming to the Dodgers?

Torre Karma!!

Yanks have had a star-studded roster for years and years. No one's done what Torre has. Not in the Steinbrenner era anyway.

His first championship with the Yankees was not star-studded...

Hooray. Can he hit?

The thing I like most about his signing is that he's had a history of grooming young players into stars. Guys like Soriano, Robinson Cano, and Mariano Rivera were all once young players with the Yanks. Hopefully he can do similarly with the Dodgers' collection of young talen.

Conference call with Ned at 4:00 pacific (in about half an hour)

Good. Glad its official finally.

Now if Ned doesn't go out and land us a big bat of some kind this off-season, he's going to have some 'splainin' to do. With Torre's pull, we should have very little trouble attracting free agents.
