Joe Girardi Becomes Yankee Manager

I grew up with Don Mattingly as my idol. I own 813 single Don Mattingly cards. I'm a Mattingly fanatic; probably bordering on the stalker level.

But still, I think the hiring of Joe Girardi was the right choice for the Yankees. The team needs someone to shake them up. There's a bunch of young players who are going to be the core of the team this year and it needs someone to kick them in the ass. I'm not sure if Don Mattingly could do that.

I do think that Joe Girardi is the right person to lead the Yankees in 2008 and beyond. We'll see how it goes. It's been a weird off-season already in just a few short weeks and is only going to get much crazier.
