Am I the only one who thinks this is a weird move? Girardi is a headstrong guy who doesn't like to take crap. No job in sports requires more crap-taking than manager of the Yankees. You have an insanely critical press corps, a meddling owner, a very demanding fan base that expects to win the World series every year and constant second guessing.
Remember this is the same Girardi who yelled at his OWNER in Florida to stop heckling the umps. Girardi did his best work in Florida with a young team that exceeded expectations in a market where nobdoy follows baseball and nobody even attends the games. The Yankees are a veteran team with high expectations. I think a calmer personality, in other words a Torre-type, would make more sense.
