Replace Derek? Didi has tall task at SS

Replacing legends is rough stuff, especially in the Bronx, and when illustrating the point Joe Girardi is a fine place to start. Girardi had been such a tense and uncomfortable presence during his first season as manager of Joe Torre's New York Yankees, Brian Cashman implored him to ease up and make the kind of adjustments in personality and approach that Tom Coughlin made before winning his first of two Super Bowls.
Girardi listened. Girardi changed. Of greater consequence, Girardi took the hundreds of millions Cashman the GM invested in free agents and led the Yankees to the place Torre had taken them four times -- a ticker-tape parade.
