This is good news:

Joe Torre will remain as manager of the New York Yankees, finally getting the word from owner George Steinbrenner after the team's surprise elimination from the playoffs last weekend.

Torre is not the problem. The problem is the lack of stable pitching, and I'd be willing to point that finger at the Randy Johnson acquisition. How many young arms could have been brought along and developed for the salary Johnson gets? Johnson is my age, for gosh sakes, and that's not a good thing for long term development.

The Yankees need to apply some of the Moneyball lessons to their pitching staff.
