Torre May Want To Read Fine Print

Saw a piece yesterday on ESPN.com, regarding former Dodger manager Joe Torre's next line of work with MLB:

LOS ANGELES -- Joe Torre may not stay retired much longer.

The former Los Angeles Dodgers manager is leaning toward accepting a job with Commissioner Bud Selig that would allow him to stay in Los Angeles.

"He's got a position that he thinks that I can handle," Torre told The Associated Press on Monday. "I know we're on the same page, and I think it's just a matter of just sort of crossing the Ts and dotting Is at this point in time."

Torre said he's still resolving some questions in his own mind, but he expects to decide in the next two-to-three weeks. Selig's office is based in New York, but Torre says the commissioner hasn't said he couldn't work from Los Angeles.

So what could this job be? At first I thought, for sure this must be LAUSD Superintendent, but it seems they've filled this role. Los Angeles Bigelow Tea Ambassador? Dodger Stadium Special Groundskeeper? Anyone have any idea what job Joe is taking (even if it's not even mentioned in the article at all)?

I wish he was going to be LAUSD Superintendent. I'm turning 37 this year, so he would give me a raise or a promotion!

Maybe Joe Morgan was canned from the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program as well and they have Torre slated to take over

anytime I think Dodger Stadium will be covered with dirt because of the Supercross races and the Monster Jam thing, I get very sad...BASEBALL stadiums are meant to play baseball in, anything else...

But the Dodgers need the rent money!

Hey! That pile of dirt is our starting left fielder!
