Joe Torre after Bobby Cox? 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Tue Oct 23, 2007 2:32 am

What's his next move?

Potential destinations for Joe Torre? If Dodgers owner Frank McCourt doesn't care for the direction of the team early next season, don't bet against them making a run at Torre. Big market. Big name. Instant credibility. Ditto for the Mets. Torre could also be considered a possible successor to Bobby Cox in Atlanta after next season, if he wants to wait that long. There are plenty of teams that will take comfort in knowing Torre is out there, in case they aren't performing up to par. "Joe could wind up making more money out of this than he did with the Yankees," said one veteran baseball executive. "He may go to TV for a while, but he won't be there very long if he does. It sounds as if he still wants to manage, and I know his motivation in winning again someplace else must be pretty high."

Please no. There are several reasons why I don't want him as the coach.
1. Torre couldn't win before the Yankees.
2. If Pendelton doesn't get the job he will be gone.

I actually considered this, but I think another opportunity will present itself before Bobby is done.

I wouldn't mind Pendleton as the head coach. He has been sought out before and is wanted for his ability to coach.
