I wish the FO would pick up a starter, before the trading deadline. The thought of throwing Wakefield and catching Mirabelli in a playoff game makes me nauseas.
Lugo is the 4th SS in 4 years--- really 5 if you count Nomah. Maybe next year the Sox will lure ARod who will opt out of his contract and the parade of Shortstops will end.
ARod is not allowed to play SS. Jeter wouldn't like it and Torre would never cross Jeter. It was the obvious right move to put ARod at SS, but politics get in the way.
Why so tense? If the Yanks win this game, they'll have to go at least 14 innings, burning up their pen and that Whore Clemens might be used. It's very amusing.
If ARod opts out of his contract, would he still be able to re-sign with the Yankees. I would assume that would be the case, but if he were to opt out, I think he'd be looking to leave NY.
