  1. Jason Michaels would be your answer for 2006-07 until one of the farmhands is ready for CF? He has not shown that he can do the job on a full-time basis. He is not a starting CF for a contending team. I am thankful the the FO is not willing to sacrifice the possibility of a contending team in 2006 and 2007 to preserve a prospect that may never make an impact at the ML level.
  2. If we had signed him, we wouldn't be agonizing whether they are giving up too much for Crisp. Damon could have played two more years in CF until one of the farmhands was ready, then Damon could have moved to a corner OF position about the time Marte would have been exploding onto the baseball scene.
  3. If it falls apart, who will be the CF?
  4. Look at some of the threads before he signed with the Yanks, and you will see that he got hammered a fair bit.
  5. JSinger, this should give you some hope. Deal is not yet done: http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/ohio/sports/13689951.htm?source=rss&channel=ohio_sports
  6. Make that three. How was Duke supposed to know that the Rocket would start an exercise regime that would transfer his body and revive his career. If we could only have one top flight expensive pitcher, Duke made the right move getting Pedro a year later and signing him to a long term contract.
  7. If he is the next Bagwell, imagine how bad Braves fans will feel. They gave him up for Renteria.
  8. Dotel is coming off surgery and is a huge question mark. Optimistically, he will be ready by June.
  9. Wallace and other members of the coaching staff have indicated that they would prefer to have Papelbon start the season in the Pen. Wells moving is not a slam dunk either.
  10. I really like Sweeney, but he has a bad back. It would probably smarter if they went for Huff.
  11. Put me in the favorable category.
  12. Beltran was looking to get 7 years $100 million. A one-time hit to their budget of $15-20 million is much different.
  13. I'm glad he is gone.:thumbsup:
  14. The Yankees will. You can count on it.
  15. ATBTY-- Any team But the Yankees
  16. Let's not forget his clutch play and walk-off homers. OH, that was Ortiz. Let's not forget ARod's clutch play like killing the yankees last hope of going to the ALCS by hitting into a DP in the 9th inning angainst the Angels or flubbing a one-hopper in a big spot. That's right, the post season doesn't count.
  17. I wouldn't trade too much of it right away. You never have enough pitching, and Schilling, Wells and Wake are all a little senior. Chances are that injuires will get Arroyo and Papelbon in the rotation sooner than later. The only pitcher I would move now would be Wells for prospects. But I would do that with a mind towards making a run at Clemens before the Yankees sign him in February and make us puke.
  18. He turned 37 in November.
  19. Loretta has a proven track record that Cano does not.
  20. Posada has been in a noticeable decline in the last couple of years. I would not expect that to stop.
  21. Manny big over Matsui.
  22. Rebuilding? You wish. Teams with $120+ million payrolls are not in rebuilding mode. If this trade goes through, you should be very, very scared Yankee fans.
  23. It's going to be tough forhim to make the opening day roster, especially since Stern will need to be in the majors in April. I'd think about giving Stern back to the Braves.
