It's not really the yankees players that I hear cracking under the pressure as much as I hear it coming from boss jr and Girardi. I can almost bet the yanks wished they had kept Torre. He may not be the best, but damn if he didn't know how to manage a team like that and handle the media. Joba, hasn't been stretched out and he hasn't had to face big opponents yet. Will he develop more pitches.. my money is on no. If he does, and he does take over for Rivera, then he'll be lethal.. but I have a feeling they've fucked the kids career before it's even begun.
As far as Manny goes. He's already a HOF player. I'd like to see him get 600, but I wish people would realize just how much of a great hitter he really is. He's probably one of the top 5 right handed hitters of all time. That is way more than how many home runs you hit.
