The Yankee Thread

[26 to 6]

I'm really impressed with Cano's defense this year. Bowa did a good job this spring with him.

yeah, he's been very good. Since Spring Training we saw a rapid improvement with this kid.

 

As for Pavano, hopefully he can come back and do something good for us. That sure would be nice.

[Optimist]

The YES commentators just pointed out something about the team the Yankees put out on the field today. 5 of the 9 guys in the lineup are from the Yankee farm system (Jeter, Williams, Cano, Phillips, and Cabrera.) I found that interesting.

 

Oh, and while we're on the game, 3 run shot by A-Rod! 3 - 0 Yankees!

[26 to 6]

Oh s***, such a crazy day so far I completely forgot the game was on at 1. Better go watch it.

[TheRivernator]

Why The f*** Is Sturtze In This f***ing Game!!!!!!

[TheRivernator]

you have to be kidding me. First batter, single. Sturtze, you suck, please leave....

[Beckett95]

Sturtze = Seanez

 

which one do you think is better?

tough call

I have never seen anything like this before. This guy is automatic BP. By the way, Scott Proctor is the f***ing MAN and bails out Squirtz!!!!! We need to DFA him soon. We have help on the way, JB Cox is kickin ass in the minors and Dotel is close. PLEASE GET RID OF HIM!!!!!

[TheRivernator]

Look at these numbers for Squirtz

 

6.75ERA .396BAA 2.08WHIP .463oppOBP .667oppSLG 1.130oppOPS

[Optimist]

Trade him for some bats.

[TheRivernator]

Trade him for some bats.

 

He should be able to find some bats, all of his pitches seem to...

[TheRivernator]

how the hell can you give up an almost .400 BAA?

[TheRivernator]

and the yankees win a close one 4-3....

[Optimist]

And remain undefeated in day games.

[TheRivernator]

12-0, and we didnt have to use Mo today. Tomorrow we have Randy goin, so who the hell knows what we will get. I hope he gets back on track...

[RedRuffing15]

wow, now their like 12-0 in day games...good win, lets follow up with the same tomarrow(Though the win itself wasn't that good, becuase of the Jeter Error, Farns needed to work a little extra, but in a sence, any wins a good win)

[TheRivernator]

Scott Proctor is a beast, an absolute f***ing beast....

[RedRuffing15]

our bullpen is starting to shape up, Villone has impressed me as has Proctor...and I always have some faith in Small!!

[TheRivernator]

If Dotel comes back throwing well (and he has been throwing 95 in the minors on rehab) then this bullpen will have no weaknesses, but we gotta let sturtze go....

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

There putting Sturtze on the DL.

[Optimist]

STURTZE IS GOING ON THE DL!

[TheRivernator]

Jeter after his first 153 games/ Cano after his first 153 games

562 vs 604 AB's

87 vs 89 runs

167 vs 182 hits

0.303 vs 0.301

8 vs 16 HR's

71 vs 73 RBI's

 

 

from a yankees site...

[RedRuffing15]

Hes gon be great one day I hope

 

 

Ha..what DL is sturtz on??? The Dreadful List?

lol

[Optimist]

Scott Erickson will be taking Sturtze's spot on the roster.

[TheRivernator]

hey guys, you know what is great? Right now we are on pace for exactly 100 wins. The sox are on pace for 97...

[CrespoBlows]

Scott Erickson will be taking Sturtze's spot on the roster.

 

Is that better?

[TheRivernator]

Is that better?

 

The idea behind it is that once Pavano or Dotel return, Erickson will be DFAd. I guess Joe didnt want to DFA Sturtze and bringing up anyone else would have meant losing them for good. So Cash chose Erickson over Sturtze as the man to be DFA'd...

[Cocos Disciples]

If I am not mistaken, the Yankee roster looks like this:

 

C-Posada, Stinnett

1B-Giambi, Phillips

2B-Cano, Cairo

SS-Jeter

3B-Rodriguez

OF-Damon, Williams, Crosby, Cabrera, Reese

SP-Johnson, Mussina, Chacon, Wang, Wright

RP-Rivera, Farnsworth, Myers, Villone, Proctor, Small, Erickson

[Cocos Disciples]

I also think Dotel is an underrated signing. He was a pretty good closer in Oakland, and he can bring the heat, but I don't know anymore with his injury. He should be a decent setup man. I was hoping the Sox would get him under the table.

[jsinger121]

Dotel was a bust as a closer in Oakland. When healthy he can be a pretty dominant setup man and it was a solid move by the Yankees to sign him but I don't know what you can expect out of him this year. 2007 is the year I could see him revert to being a dominant pitcher.
