05:34 AM ET 11.06 | Buck Showalter was watching television with some friends when he learned that Joe Girardi would succeed Joe Torre as manager of the Yankees. The reporter on the broadcast said that the intense Girardi might be more of a control freak than the focused Showalter, who preceded the laid-back Torre in the Bronx. Showalter was not flattered. Girardi never played under Showalter and barely knows him, but Girardi's managerial style has been compared to Showalter's approach. Both are savvy and detail oriented, and both like to be in control of every situation that affects their team.
