I am glad that he got stabbed in the back by the Yankees. He was the prick who complained about Johnny Pesky sitting in uniform on the Red Sox bench in 2004. The league had no choice at the time but to ban him from the dugout. He's a low-life prick. I'm glad he got fired in Baltimore, and doubly glad the Yankees stabbed him in the back. I hope he goes to manage A ball somewhere.

Lowell got robbed too. He was damn near perfect. Chavez had a few bad moments in the field. Plus, he missed quite a bit of time.

He lost his stuff due to his injuries. The bad knees led to a drop in velocity and the loss of confidence. But for the injury, he doesn't lose his stuff or his confidence. Cmon man! Try to apply cause and effect in a logical manner.

Really, what else was it?

So he has a better RF than more than half of the major league second basemen, and a zone rating that is better than 13 other starting second baseman. He was tied for 3rd in fielding percentage, better than the starters on 26 teams, and he was sixth in DPs. Yes, he clearly sucks.

I'd rather sign Mirabelli than to trade another prospect or two to get him back if we can't find a catcher to catch the knuckleball. Sign Belli and Barajas. If Barajas can catch the knuckler, trade Belli for a prospect.

It's a 162 game season. It doesn't end at the trading deadline or in August. Youk is the only tired player at the end of the season? This is just an excuse.

.381 is not really near .400. It's not even near .390.

Who am I advocating that we get? I am not elevating the importance of power at the expense of defense. I am not thrilled with WMP because of his defensive limitations.

Definitely. Not too many guys take Pedro deep twice when he throwing that well.

Read what you quoted. I was comparing Youk to Millar not Lowell. Youk and Lowell are about the same offensively. Neither lights the world on fire, but lowell has more power. Lowell is a much better fielder. Youk has more trade value than Lowell because he is younger and cheaper...period. Trade the guy with more trade value and keep lowell for one more year.
