Best choice

Tough task, as the Yanks will have a very hard time competing with the Red Sox over the next few years and their array of young talent..........not to mention the AROD Curse that will haunt this team throughout most of this century.

People were saying that girardi was going to get the yankee job pretty much immediately after he was fired from the marlins.

Damn, I was hoping they'd pick the lifetime loser, Don Mattingly.

I doubt that it matters: they've still got a new, younger version of "Bring in the Clowns" upstairs and guys whose throat muscles tighten every October in the dugout...

Poor Joe...

He looked like he had lost his best friend during the postgame...

Knowing that he will have to write out a lineup in which he has to replace 54 HR's, 156 RBI's, and a .400plus OBP.

Leave it to the Yankees to announce this as the Sox are winning the World Series.

F the Yankees-at least the Sox have some class.

Girardi is a class act...

I remember when Daryl Kile passed away in CHI...

Joe was the spokesman for the Cubs and made the announcement on the field that Saturday afternoon...was real impressed by that.

Also, like the way he stood up to that idiot owner in FLA, and stood by his principles over his job.

I think one reason the Yanks kept him in the booth this year was to keep him close to the organization. Now they run the risk of alienating one of the greatest true Yankees of the past thirty years, Donnie Baseball.

artie...

Not sure if Mattingly is/was offered a position on Girardi's staff...

But IMO...it would be very hard for him to accept it. I think he needs to leave NY for another club now. Has to be a major blow for him...read that Cashman voted for Joe. Speaks volumes when Mattingly was on that bench and Girardi was not this past season.

Donnie Baseball?? Lol..........this guy was one of worst clutch hitters in baseball and never got to playoffs, he hit whenh it did not matter and had Ricky Henderson playing with him a guy that was on third base all the time so Donnie had tons of RBI's.

Mattingly would of been the worst choice ever, another Jo Torre with ZERO emotion and desire.

This appears to be the case.

This was recently posted from a respected Yankees beat writer

http://yankees.lohudblogs.com/

Just made a few calls and can confirm that Joe Girardi has been offered the position of manager with the Yankees.
It is expected that he will get a three-year deal worth $4.5 million. An announcement could come in New York tomorrow.
Where this leaves Don Mattingly is uncertain. Perhaps he will work for the Dodgers if Joe Torre is named the manager in Los Angeles.

This was the right move for the direction the team is going in, which little Steinbrenner said will be a "transition" and now that they're not going after A-Rod it will be a younger and different team.

Mattingly seemed too soft and not well spoken enough for the job.

Report: Girardi, Yankees agree to three-year deal

CBSSports.com wire reports
Oct. 28, 2010 Joe Girardi and the New York Yankees have agreed on the outline of a $9 million, three-year contract for the manager, according to a baseball official familiar with the negotiations.

The Yankees are 287-199 in the regular season under Joe Girardi. (Getty Images) Although the agreement is not complete, the sides "are dotting the 'i's and crossing the t's,' the person said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.
The person said the deal is "going to get done."
The New York Post first reported the news.
Girardi would be able to earn about $500,000 more each year in bonuses based on the team's performance.
He is finishing a $7.8 million, three-year contract that he signed as Joe Torre's successor following the 2007 season. He will get $3 million annually in his new agreement.
A catcher on the Yankees' World Series championship teams in 1996, 1999 and 2000, Girardi managed the Florida Marlins in 2006.
When Torre left New York following 12 seasons, Girardi was hired for the Yankees job over Don Mattingly.
New York missed the playoffs in Girardi's first year, then beat the Philadelphia Phillies in last year's World Series before losing to Texas last week in the AL Championship Series. The Yankees have a 287-199 regular-season record in three years under Girardi.
