“#Joe Girardi laid groundwork to help Yankees\u2019 Aaron Boone gamble payoff<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Sometimes new managers and head coaches enjoy an extended honeymoon on the job by meeting the most basic standard:<\/p>\n

They aren\u2019t the person they replaced.<\/p>\n

Not this time in The Bronx, though. Aaron Boone, his third season on the job about to start following a seismic delay, represented risk. The Yankees could have never hired him, could have never fired his predecessor, Joe Girardi, and the masses (including the middle-aged guy that writes this column) wouldn\u2019t have uttered a peep.<\/p>\n

With Girardi set to make his first trip<\/a> to Yankee Stadium in a Phillies uniform Monday night, albeit in an exhibition game<\/a>, what better time to recognize that the Yankees\u2019 risk has worked out pretty well to date? While Boone hasn\u2019t sealed his Yankees legacy by winning a championship, he has validated the Yankees\u2019 moxie by app<\/a>earing to be a worthy addition to a great active chain of pinstriped managers, with Girardi succeeding Joe Torre and Torre succeeding Buck Showalter.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoonie I think has done a good job obviously coming in, and I think both [Boone and Girardi] have a lot of the same qualities,\u201d Brett Gardner said Sunday, before the Yankees and Mets faced off again at the Stadium. \u201cBoth very personable. Both do a great job of just controlling the clubhouse and commanding a great deal of respect in their own way.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I definitely miss Joe being here, but I\u2019ve enjoyed playing for Boonie, and it\u2019ll be good to see Joe even though he\u2019s over there on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yankees general<\/a> manager Brian Cashman has said publicly that, more than anything, he thought it was time for a change after Girardi\u2019s 10-year run that featured six playoff appearances and the 2009 title. It\u2019s far from an absurd notion. A decade of Girardi\u2019s trademark intensity can wear on people.<\/p>\n

Man oh man, though, did Girardi do good work while in pinstripes. Aaron Hicks commended Girardi and longtime Yankees coach Rob Thomson, who is now Girardi\u2019s bench coach in Philadelphia, for giving him the opportunities that allowed him to blossom, even after a tough first Yankees season in 2016.<\/p>\n

And as Boone noted, some of Girardi\u2019s best work occurred when the Yankees missed the postseason yet stayed alive until the final week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there were some tough years in there where there were some transitional years,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI recall when I was with ESPN, a lot of times, kind of from afar, being really impressed with the job he was doing when I don\u2019t think his teams were as great as normal. The way he was able to kind of handle a bullpen and run things.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I often say I walked into a situation that was such a good situation to walk into. And I think a big reason for that is the foundation that Joe had laid for his number of years here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boone built on that foundation by controlling the clubhouse in a different way than his predecessor, being more approachable and naturally communicative, and also incorporating his front office\u2019s analytical principles with greater ease.<\/p>\n

However, Boone\u2019s first season concluded with a reminder of Girardi\u2019s greatest strength; the Red Sox pounded the Yankees into elimination during the 2018 ALCS as Boone hung too long with his starting pitchers in the final two games. Girardi, many (including the scrawny-armed guy who writes this column) agreed, would have managed more proactively. Yet Boone did a far better job in last year\u2019s playoffs, the Yankees\u2019 ALCS loss to Gerrit Cole and the Astros notwithstanding, and his job security stands as a non-issue.<\/p>\n

The Phillies made a fine hire in Girardi, who did his own broadcasting the prior two seasons, and the former catcher gives them a real edge in the ultra-competitive NL East. The Yankees very well might still be where they are now, favorites to win their league, had they given Girardi a new contract after the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

The Yankees rolled the dice and lived to smile about it, though, to wish Girardi well in his new gig, because of Boone\u2019s success. At this juncture, you could do worse than forecast that whoever follows Boone into this highly desired post will experience an equally brief, challenging honeymoon.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
