Joe Torre insisted on Friday that he holds no hard feelings towards the Yankees. "I don't think the wounds were ever that deep," he said. "Maybe a scrape or two, but that was it." He sounded convincing, as he always does, and yet earlier Friday Mel Stottlemyre, Torre's close friend and former pitching coach, was saying quite the opposite over the phone. "If the Yankees decided to honor Joe in some way anytime soon, I think Joe would refuse," Stottlemyre said. "That's just my opinion, but I've talked to him enough to know how he feels about some things. "I just hope time heals the wounds, on both sides, really. I think maybe it will, at least for Joe. I don't know about the other side."
