The more I see of him, the more I think he was never going to change his "book". Let us not forget that he constantly played Juan Pierre and the corpse of Andruw Jones over more-productive, youthful alternatives. It wasn't until those vets went on the DL and he was handcuffed that he started putting the best lineup on the field.

And back to the original point by Steinbrenner, Torre stepped into the right situation at the right time & owes just as much to the Yankees organization for his new-found godlike status as a manager.
Hank could have put it a little nicer, though...
BTW, Jim & Dwight with the stopwatch in last night's "Office" was gold!
