What yankee do you most respect?

[Soxfan1]

Lets keep this thread clean.

 

I respect Derek Jeter the most out of all the yankees. IMo he is a class act and is a great player. I remember when wells signed with us, while some yankees were doing some bashing, he stayed out of it and just said something nice about wells.

 

 

Oh and for the yankee fans. say the favorite red sox player and why.

[Cocos Disciples]

Mo. Keeps his mouth shut and performs.

[ORS]

Rivera. Quiet dignity is rarely found in a person who is probably the best ever at what he does.

[BoSox34]

Derek Jeter, nuff said.

[jsinger121]

rivera

[ARod2212]

Probably Ortiz, despite the Jeter flack of late. The guy is lovable and simply rakes.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Paul O'Neal, Don Mattingly.

[a700hitter]

I'd go with Mo.

[schillingouttheks]

Mo mostly, but I respect Jeter, Bernie, Paul O'Neill, Matsui and Mussina too.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Gabe Kapler nuff said!

 

 

On a serious note I do like Wakefield. Quiet, consistant, and a leader. You can tell hes a great guy.

[Jon_Papelboner]

Coco Crisp. He tries hard.

Mussina? Everything I've read about the guy suggests he's a major league self-centered prick. Not only that, but I've seen mentions of bigotry. He gets no respect from me.

Jeter

He gets no respect from me.[/quote']I've seen the nasty prick side of him. He was the first one to throw ARod under the bus after he made errors in Moose's games, but I have not heard the bigotry rumors?

[a700hitter]

Mike Myers. His per inning pay has to be right up there with any player in the game, and he sucks.

It was in a Gammons article about John Rocker. I can't find a link for the article, but I did find a quote in another article.

 

Here’s what Gammons wrote: "What Rocker said was unforgivable. But the fact is, every team has heard similar diatribes those from small towns across America have about New York City. One of the game’s best pitchers, a sophisticated, intellectual graduate of one of the world’s finest universities, has splattered teammates with similar comments and boasts that he will never play without a no-trade clause to the two New York teams."

 

Before anyone chimes in with accusations of Gammons bias, consider the quote where it's apparent that the player is not playing in NY at the time. This means if it was Mussina -- can anyone think of a top flight pitcher who is commonly refered to as "cerebral" and went to a top US University? -- he was still playing in Baltimore.

That's most definitely describing Mussina. I have to say that I am a bit surprised. Rocker is not sophisticated or highly educated. It's more shocking for this kind of thing to come from an intelligent highly educated person.

"Let's keep this clean."

 

Well there goes that.

[yeszir]

If fear equates to respect, Matsui.

[ORS]

"Let's keep this clean."

 

Well there goes that.

Somebody said something dirty? This is an ironic level of sensitivity. It appears you have no problem tossing barbs about the faults of Sox players, but your panties get twisted when the fault of a Yankee is discussed. Surprising? Not even a little.

Something you never seem to realize: no yankee can be at fault outside of A rod and he doesn't count.

[26 Reasons to Hate Us]

Varitek. I think we all saw how much he is worth to the Sox this year. He is the Jeter of the Red Sox..

[RedRuffing15]

Probably Wily Mo Pena, I like his power

 

But alltime, I really, really like Lefty Grove and Don Dimaggio

[Manny Goes Boom]

Rivera. He shuts it down and I've never seen him talk s***.

[Pinstripe_Pride]

Definitely Tim Wakefield. He's like the Bernie William to the Sox, loyalty, class, and tenure wise at least.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Rivera. He shuts it down and I've never seen him talk s***.

 

Word.

[YanksHater213]

Riviera, Matsui, and anyone who sucks against us

[Youk Of The Nation]

Jeter, Matsui, Williams and Rivera.

[Papelbon58]

Derek Jeter, Matsui and Bernie Williams. I think Robinson Cano is a good kid too

[schillingouttheks]

How do you not have Mo on your list?
