Brian Cashman Joe Quotations

Joe has a great deal of trust in him. Joe has worked close with Ron for a number of years, and he's been talking to him for three years about replacing Mel when Mel decided to retire. This is the man he wanted.

Maybe it'll help, ... We've done it in the past. I don't remember the last time we did it, but he's available if guys want to hit off him. It's up to Joe and Donnie.

George Steinbrenner owns this club, has a big investment in it, and he cares passionately about it. That is sometimes reflected in his comments. But Joe Torre gets paid to make these decisions. Some work out and some don't.

I can't count how many times Bernie has said the following: I will do whatever the New York Yankees ask me to do to try and help us win. So if Joe Torre and our coaching staff feel that work on the corners is something that will provide more flexibility and more playing-time possibilities for him, then I'm sure they'll discuss that with him.
