New Strategy for the Yankees

I like Torre's philosophy that the Yankees have to "fight their way out of this hole". It's a great solution that has guts, character and confidence in his players. But how consistent is that with the way he manages? How many times has Torre really showed faith in his pitching staff? You know the scenario. Starting pitcher gets tatooed after 5 runs by the 5th inning. Next pitcher comes in, gives up a homer, and in comes Torre again. Then he makes 3 more trips to the mound before the game ends.



Hey, I'm not saying that taking pitchers out is a mistake, but the key is which pitchers should Torre allow to fight their way out of and which should be cut? I have the answer: Torre, stop putting Vizcaino in! He's horrible! And take Farnsworth out the minute he loses command, because he never gains it back. And once our starting pitchers are healthy and Roger is on board, start rotating those new guys into the bullpen more often. Try DeSalvo and Clippard for a few innings. Proctor and Bruney have shown consistency and this battle back mentality. They're good in my book.

Oh, and somebody please find a way to play Cabrera. The bats are really suffering.
