[edit] Irrelevant paragraph

I've moved this paragraph here because it doesn't seem to have much relevance on a biography of Joe Torre. Maybe it could be factored into the New York Yankees page somehow.

It is also worth noting that the Yankees of 2006 boast an "All-Star" coaching staff which has had a noticably positive effect on the team (especially when one considers the number of young, inexperienced players on the team). Only Torre and third year Hitting Coach Don Mattingly remain from the 2005 coaching staff. Ron Guidry was hired as pitching coach, Tony Peña as first base coach, Larry Bowa as third base coach, Joe Kerrigan as bullpen coach and Lee Mazzilli as bench coach. Guidry and Mattingly (who, as players, were both career Yankees) were each among the most skilled in the major leagues at the respective positions during their playing days- Guidry was a dominant pitcher and Mattingly was an MVP caliber hitter. All of the other coaches are former managers. Peña managed the Kansas City Royals, Bowa managed the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres, Kerrigan managed the Boston Red Sox and Mazilli managed the Baltimore Orioles. In addition, Bowa has been praised by Yankee players for his dedication in helping young players improve their fielding abilities.

I agree. This would make an interesting addition to the New York Yankees article, but serves no real purpose in the article about Torre. ELH50 10:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
