He slipped because of injury and we got him late. But for the money he wanted it wasn't worth it when they got Ty Weeden and Lars Anderson signed for less than what Laporta wanted.
The yankees never choked. They got outplayed. maybe if they were up 2-0 and ended up losing 3-2 but the tigers were in control of this series from the 2nd game on.

Loretta's numbers were nothing specatucular. He has no power whatsoever and very little range. His OPS was .706 and that can be matched by Pedroia next year with consistent playing time.
ESPN has reported from the NY Daily News that the Yankees are set to fire Joe Torre and replace him with Lou Piniella. This has not been on ESPN.com or NYDailynews.com but was reported on sportscenter.
