Should the Giants pursue him? Does he have gas left in the tank?

His strengths don't seem to play well to ours, he's American League,
he'll probably be expensive, and he doesn't have any real or recent experience rebuilding teams on a budget. That being said, I'm sure they'll jump at the opportunity. Quote:

Torre has always seemed like an okay guy and all, but is their *any* excuse not to be hugely successful with the teams he's been given? In other words, were the last umpteen years in New York a real test of his managerial ability? Gregg

It was luck or something, but he had a nice run of success immediately after taking over for Showalter. People were pitying silly Torre for accepting the job.

I'll admit, though, that I wouldn't be upset if the Giants hired him. I wouldn't turn handsprings, but it wouldn't make me mad, like, say, the hiring of Ray Knight or Kevin Kennedy. Granted, I've now just ensured that the new Giants manager will be Ray Knight or Kevin Kennedy, but hey. Gregg

That's a fair point. I think maybe one reason managers get little credit for winning and lots of blame for losing is that maybe that's in direct proportion to how much they can contribute to a win or a loss. Maybe. Gregg
