Joe Girardi spent part of his Thursday afternoon with Mike Francesa at the WFAN studios in lower Manhattan. Check out some of the more interesting nuggets...
He was a baseball player who helped the Yankees' resurgence back in the 1990s. But he became as well known for a tragic accident long after he left the field. Now, Jim Leyritz is rebuilding his life and using what he's been through to help others.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi joined Mike Francesa for an hour on Thursday to give his thoughts on the highs and lows of last season and offer some insight into how the Yankees will approach the offseason.
C.J. Wilson may be the most talented starter on the free agent market but the Yankees should turn to other targets if his salary demands are too high.
Maybe in other years, 19-8 with a 3.00 ERA and 230 strikeouts would have been enough to eke out the AL Cy Young Award.
The Yankees should turn to oft-injured free agent Grady Sizemore to provide competition for corner outfielders Brett Gardner and Nick Swisher and to serve as a left-sided DH.

Yankees' GM Brian Cashman revealed that it's too early to determine whether the Bombers will go after a big-name starting pitcher or if a big trade is the works.
Brian Cashman should turn his full attention to free agent starter Mark Buerhle. The former White Sox ace can fill the Yankees' craving for a reliable starter.
When asked about A.J. Burnett on Tuesday, Cashman appeared to leave the door wide open for moving the right-hander. The GM backtracked and then some Wednesday.
When Brian Cashman talks, people listen, especially Neil Keefe. It's not that often that the Yankees general manager talks about the team or the future of the team or gives a state of the Yankees address, but when he does, Neil's ready.
The more temperate fans – largely west of the Hudson – say we're spoiled, that any gripe after a 97-win season is specious, if not infantile. But you could say the Bronx made us that way.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman said all the right things in a conference call following his new three-year deal. Then, regarding embattled starter A.J. Burnett, he slipped.
Instead of arguing whether the Gold Glove Award is still relevant or if the Fielding Bible Award should be accepted the standard, how about combining the best aspects of both awards?

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is staying in the Bronx with a new three-year contract, the team announced on Tuesday.
By agreeing to an extension without opting out, CC Sabathia again demonstrated why he'll be remembered as a beloved Yankee and not a mercenary -- like Alex Rodriguez.
Which one of us wouldn't want to—ahem—throw our weight around for tens of millions more given the chance?
For CC, there's no better place to pitch than Yankee Stadium. He'll do whatever it takes to stay on the mound as the Bombers' ace -- even if it means trimming down.
The guys got a call from Ronnie in New Rochelle on Tuesday morning, and he had a story about his wife Kathy seeing 'Mr. October' himself, Reggie Jackson, in the buff.
The Yankees and their fans got some good news yesterday, as their ace left-hander CC Sabathia elected not to opt out of his deal with the Yankees, as the Bombers extended his current deal to total five years worth $122 million.
On Monday, the Yankees ace agreed to a new deal that adds $30 million to his existing contract and will pay $122 million over the next five years.
