Why the Joe Torre Hiring Scares Me


The Joe Torre hiring scares me because I think Frank McCourt (Los Angeles Dodgers owner) may think that by simply hiring Joe Torre the Los Angeles Dodgers are all of a sudden a World Series competitor.

It absolutely amazes me just how good Frank McCourt thinks his prospects are.

Actually, I don’t know if he’s really that confident about his young players or he’s just that cheap…

At the end of the day the Los Angeles Dodgers need a lot more then just Joe Torre to take this team to another level.

And I don’t agree with the talk show hosts that think Joe Torre will only be worth a few more wins for the Dodgers…

Joe Torre and his coaching staff will have a huge impact in the clubhouse but if the Dodgers are to become a post-season threat (and not just a team who shows up and is shown the door after the first round) they will need to add some more pop in the lineup and I don’t think Matt Kemp will be the one to provide it…

or any other young player for that matter.
