As I'm sure you surmised by now, that's Joe Torre being officially introduced as the new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He didn't say anything extraordinarily interesting, except for confirming that Don Mattingly and Larry Bowa will follow him from New York to join his coaching staff, which we kind of already knew. Is Alex Rodriguez soon to follow? Will the Dodgers turn into Yankees West?
The Dodgers have generally been built on speed and pitching (little ball) whereas the Yankees have been built on pitching and power. It will be interesting to see if the Dodgers try to change their personnel, and if not, whether Torre will have success managing a little ball team.
