Wright: Sheff is wrong on Torre

Questions over how accountable Joe Torre should be for the Yankees' early
ouster by the Tigers will linger until the manager's situation is resolved,
but Gary Sheffield and Cory Lidle have indicated that Torre deserves some
blame.
Jaret Wright disagrees.

Sheffield says that Torre's decision to bat Alex Rodriguez eighth in Game 4
of the division series created some concern in the Yankee clubhouse while
also firing up the Tigers - an odd statement since Sheffield was not even
aware of Rodriguez's place in the lineup until reporters asked him about it
just before batting practice Saturday afternoon.

Nonetheless, Sheffield told USA Today, "I think that affected the morale and
psyche of the entire team, not just A-Rod. I'm not making any excuses, but
everyone was wondering what was going on. It made it a real weird day. You
would like to be treated with a little respect, I don't care who you play
for."

He added that, "Jim Leyland took advantage of that. He can make you believe
anything. He can put a fire under your belt like you never had before in your
life. Not to make excuses, but we didn't have that."

Lidle also took a more subtle dig at Torre, saying, "I think we got taken by
surprise. We got matched up with a team that, I think, was a little more
ready to play than we were."

Wright, who cleaned out his locker at the Stadium yesterday, said, "I didn't
see that. I thought we were just as ready to play as anybody. I think it
would definitely be hard (if Torre was fired). He's an icon here."

The Yankees have a decision to make on Wright for next season: they can keep
him at a $7 million salary or pay him a $3 million buyout. Wright said that
decision must be made by a week after the World Series ends.
