DFA Kapler, bench WMP (he's a 2007 acquisition so I'll worry about that in 2007), Trot is on the bench if Abreu is hitting .400. He's a lefty bat off the bench. He's only gonna be with for another 4 or 5 weeks so who cares if he's P.O.'d.
Oh, that's right there is no issue with the Yankees shuffling around stars like Sheffield , Giambi, old stars like Bernie, and a really solid kid like Cabrera, but it would have been huge issue for the Sox with Kapler and WMP and Nixon?:dunno:
TAlking heads can't tell the brutal truth or they would lose access to Theo.
Duh. Why this wasn't a problem for the Yanks is beyond me. What happens to Melky when Matsui comes back? What happens to Sheffield whe he comes back? What about Bernie? They have a bigger logjam than us in the OF.
Really? Other women are much neater than my wife and much better disciplinarians for the kids. Yes, I should throw her under the bus, despite the fact that I love her. You are making one more foolish remark after another. Please stop before you look like an imbecile. Your FO screwed up. Deal with it. You get over it. Stop being an apologist because I'm not interested in their reasons why they screwed up, or their convoluted arguments that these were really good moves. Damon was ours. We let him get away, and he is kicking our ass and driving the Yanks to the playoffs. That was just plain dumb.
When you get an all star player, the lesser players sit. Until Trot comes back there is no issue, and if Abreu is hitting .400 with a .500 OBP, Nixon would sit.
If am sorry that you can't see that teliing me to root for the Yankees is a stupid comment, because I disagree with the moves of the FO. At times I argue with my wife, maybe I should get divorced even though I love her.
Are you serious? You are already worrying about him complaining. Plus Nixon ain't coming back. Kapler is a role player. Send him back to japan who cares. Plus if we got Abreu, we would not have gotten Hinske. BTW I don't think Hinske will see a whol lotta time at first or third.
Why weren't the Yankees worried about him complaining when Sheffield and Matsui comes back and what happens to Melky? These are just excuses.
Sorry I'm not buying the BS of the FO apologists. We have the second highest payroll in the game and we ain't making the playoffs. They are doing something very wrong.
Edit: Harry Frazee's accountant told him that he couldn't afford to keep the Babe. It's not a justification.
An all star OF with one of the highest OBP's in the game and good speed would do nothing for us? We picked up Hinske, so they must have thought they had a need. BTW Abreu has done a lot for the Yankees and he is ripping us a new one.
