Well that would make perfect sense...I mean it's not like Torre was busy winning the World Series with less "star power" while Pinella was setting Peyton Manning-like records for regular season wins and post season chokes in Seattle or anything
The bottom line is Torre couldn't stop the injuries, and he couldn't stop the has-beens from getting huge contracts, and he couldn't stop A-Rod from being the most overrated player in the history of sports. Sounds like all his fault alright
