SPLIT DECISION LIES AHEAD IF JOE GOES, OTHERS MAY FOLLOW LEADER By GEORGE KING 嘴炮王的文章虽然多数不太能看, 但这篇稍微参考一下好了 重点: 老托走了可能带走一串粽子, 包括Posada, MO, Pettitte 及老克, 但不影响A-Rod 1. 老托是否还是总教练可能影响洋基球队2008的登录名单。 2. 老托的未来可能影响Posada, Mo, Pettitte及老克在世界大赛後的动向。A-Rod则没有 跟上述四位一样跟老托有些历史渊源, 对A-Rod会不会跳脱合约变成FA不用期待有何作 用。 3. Posada说: "我看不到我会为任何人打球!"，那假如老托走了，Posada会走吗? Posada 说: "就看谁会来。" 4. 现金人从季初开始就说他注意2007, 那意味着老托, Posada和MO都要等到在季後才知 道他们会不会留下。A-Rod也是一样，虽然在明星赛的空档洋基曾透露想要留下这个 　 MVP的候选人，但很快地口风又变得很紧了。 5. 老托还没准备好要退休，尤其看到张伯伦和大帝这些21岁的年轻人出现後，又觉得精 力充沛起来。大老板拒绝谈论老托的未来，意思好像要老托拿到世界大赛冠军後才会 　 要老托留下。 6. Posada今年是合约年，在缺乏一流捕手的自由市场下，有机会拿到3年4千2百万的合 约。36岁Posada说: "Torre仍想要当总教练，这是他表达的意思。无疑的是，我想看 见他在这儿，他是我唯一一个我为他打过球的总教练，我觉得他是最棒的。但我不知 道将会发生什麽事。" 7. Rivera有一个目标是希望在新的洋基球场投球(新球场将於2009年开启), 他很重视为 老托打球。Rivera的年薪是一千零五十万, 他希望拿到两年的合约，要求一年至少一 　 千四百万，他十一月则要满38岁了。Rivera说:"我在这里一直都跟在老托，我希望我 跟他打球直到我退休。" 问他是否在没有老托时会在洋基投球，他说: "我现在不能回 答这个问题，因为我们不知道老托自己还要不要继续当总教练。我想要继续投下去， 我希望Joe继续当总教练。有很多事必须要作，洋基必须要作决定。" 8. Pettitte明年有1千6佰万的合约优先权，他一点也不隐藏他与老托的感情, 老托是这 个左投手回到Bronx众多理由之一。Pettitte也是自由市场没几个好的先发自由球员 的一条大鱼, 他说: "我爱死老托了，他就像我的老爸, 他是个很棒的总教练，为他 打球太棒了。 9. 老克也很明白的表示，老托如果不是总教练今年他不可能回来, 所以你可以假定如果 老克2008还要打个半季，但老托已经不是总教练了，洋基在登录名单里会错过这个 大咖。 Pettitte, who has the say on a $16 million option for next year, doesn’t hide his feelings for Torre, who was one of the main reasons the lefty returned to The Bronx. “I love him to death. He is like a dad to me,” said Pettitte, who will be worth a lot more than one year and $16 million on a weak free-agent market for starters. “He is a great manager and great to play for.” Clemens made it clear that he wouldn’t have come back had Torre not been the manager, so you can assume if Clemens decides to work a half season in 2008 and Torre isn’t managing, the Yankees can cross him off the list. August 24, 2007 -- DETROIT - The man in the manager’s office will have a huge impact on what the Yankees’ 2008 roster will look like. While the Yankees are involved in two races - the AL East and wild card - there is no avoiding what looms beyond this season. Joe Torre is doing a wonderful job as a lame-duck manager, and his future will have an impact on what free agents Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens will do following the World Series. Since Alex Rodriguez doesn’t have the history the others do with Torre, the manager’s future doesn’t expect to play a role in Rodriguez’ decision to opt out and become a free agent or stay. However, it will impact what Posada does. “I don’t see myself playing for anybody else,” the All-Star told The Post. So, if Torre leaves, does that mean Posada goes, too? “Let’s see who is coming in,” the catcher said. GM Brian Cashman’s stance since the start of spring training is that the focus is on 2007. That meant Torre, Rivera and Posada have to wait until after the season to see where they fit. The same went for Rodriguez, but at the All-Star break word leaked out the Yankees were willing to talk about an extension with the MVP candidate, but he shut that down quickly. Torre isn’t ready to retire and has been energized by the emergence of 21-year-old pitchers Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes. Still, George Steinbrenner has refused to discuss Torre’s future, which is a strong indication Torre has to get the Yankees to the World Series in order to be asked back. Posada, who will be coming off a career year when he hits a free-agent market devoid of front-line catchers, could command a three-year deal worth $42 million. And the 36-year-old switch-hitter may only have to look as far as Queens to get it. Still, his heart is in The Bronx. But the strings are attached to Torre. “Joe still wants to manage, that’s what he addressed,” said Posada, who is earning $12 million this year and takes a career-high .336 average into tonight’s game against the Tigers. “I would like to see him here, no question. He is the only manager I have played for and I think he is the best, but I don’t know what is going to happen.” Rivera, who has repeatedly said a goal of his is to pitch in the new Yankee Stadium (opening in 2009), values playing for Torre. “Joe has been there for me in all aspects,” said Rivera, who is making $10.5 million and will be looking for at least a two-year deal and could command $14 million a year. He will be 38 in November. “I would like to play with him until I retire. What I have going with him says something.” Asked if he would pitch for the Yankees without Torre in the dugout, Rivera said, “I can’t answer that right now because I don’t know if Joe wants to continue. I want to continue playing. I hope Joe continues to manage. There are a lot of things that have to be done and a decision the Yankees have to make.” Pettitte, who has the say on a $16 million option for next year, doesn’t hide his feelings for Torre, who was one of the main reasons the lefty returned to The Bronx. “I love him to death. He is like a dad to me,” said Pettitte, who will be worth a lot more than one year and $16 million on a weak free-agent market for starters. “He is a great manager and great to play for.” Clemens made it clear that he wouldn’t have come back had Torre not been the manager, so you can assume if Clemens decides to work a half season in 2008 and Torre isn’t managing, the Yankees can cross him off the list.
