Torre not animated?? There's a big stretch. Joe Torre is NEVER animated. He is poker-faced in any and every game. That's his style. Having grown up in an abusive household, he remains calm and placid, no matter what (you know, DC, kind of like you and me ). It's just not his nature.

I12, Some of those rumored changes are ok by me. However, I hope that they don't follow their usual path and trade hot, young talent (read Melky Cabrera) for some aging prima donna with a ridiculous contract.
