Default Torre's Book

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9134992/Report:-A-Rod-insiders-blast-Torre's-tell-all



"In his book, Torre says Rodriguez's teammates referred to the third baseman as "A-Fraud" and claims he had developed a "Single White Female"-like obsession with captain Derek Jeter."

Maybe they should of mentioned Torre that night they had the last game at Yankee Stadium(Yankee Circle Jerk.)

Pettitte says he never heard that stuff in the locker room. Cashman says that when A-Rod was a free agent a couple of years ago, some of his star players went to him nearly begging to have Rodriguez re-signed. The post-season failures for him have been noted and noted fairly. But I contend that some of those teams may not have even have had a post-season for him to fail in if not for the brilliance he displays in the regular-season.

And for what it's worth, none of the players are backing up Torre's comments.

He's not? Maybe by the standards that he has set you could say he hasn't been brilliant every season but I can't think of a single season when you could say that he's not in the top 10 for that year and in most he's in the top three.
