Girardi turns down Orioles.

By turning down the Baltimore Orioles today, Joe Girardi, last years National League manager of the Year, is keeping the possibility open that he will replace Joe Torre as manager of the New York Yankees, should Yankee Owner George Steinbrenner deem that a change is necessary. There are several jobs that may be more lucritive then the Orioles position, but would he choose to wait on the possibility of future offers without having some kind of understanding concerning his future options with the team he is currently employed with. It seems that Don Mattingly would have much more of an oppurtunity to receive the promotion as Torre's replacement, but Girardi's resume is impressive already. I'm curious to see how it will play out.
