If you aren't here for baseball season, with Bill gone, that would be a double blow to the 2009 baseball thread. Otherwise, all I'd hear about are the Tigers.
I see that HD has already commented....

I agree. He has paid his dues and held his tongue. He is probably the most credible person in Baseball and should be allowed to say whatever he wants.The book isn't released yet and I don't see many actual quotes or passages from the book yet. I would hold of on all the "Torre rips Yankees" claims though until we actually read the book.
I did find this interesting statement:
If that's the case, I don't have 1 issue with this. The man's telling his side of the story.

The Yankees are considering including a "non-disparagement clause" in future player and managerial contracts in order to prevent any more tell-all books such as "The Yankee Years," co-written by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a Yankee official said yesterday that some members of the front office staff already are required to sign a confidentiality agreement in order to protect "proprietary knowledge of our business model." The proposed clause is intended to ensure that future books about the Yankees are "positive in tone," and "do not breach the sanctity of our clubhouse."

ROFLMAO:haha:haha:haha:haha:haha:haha
As if they have EVER had "sanctity" in that Clubhouse....
...."do not breach the sanctity of our clubhouse"....what a scream...
Does "The Bronx Zoo" ring a bell to any of these morons in the Yankees front office....?! LOL!
+1:up I was thinking the same thing when I read that!!!!...
(Incoming defensive reply from you know who in 5....4....3....2.....)
If that's the case then the players will not cross Joe. Honestly, if you read the quotes and excerpts from the book, anything Torre is saying is basically stuff we already knew.
A-Rod/A-Fraud, The Yankees knew they weren't going to win game 7 of the ALCS in 04, that Kevin Brown and Randy Johnson were not the best Yankees etc.

A-Fraud, A-schmaud, whatever. I don't care what you call him, I just want him to figure out a way to play well in October for a change.
This stuff is all January fodder for the drama queens.
One big October can change things.
In 2006, I remember Pavel Datsyuk was crucified for a terrible playoff performance against the Oilers.
Since then, he's done well.
