john/z28jdI think the only manager it hurts is Torre because of the difference between the Yankees and other teams.I just meant i wouldnt vote him because of being a manager or player.He hasnt been hall of fame caliber at either but close for both so i think he deserves it. The fact the Yankees havent won in 4 years only hurts Torre's chances and if they dont win this year it should hurt him more.He doesnt have to manage as much as every other teams manager does because his lineup is pretty much set.Its not a hard job now and the longer he goes without winning it all the worse it looks for him.
I still do think he will be a hall of famer as a manager,as do i think Bobby Cox and Tony Larussa eventually will be too,but neither of them were much as players
