26 Reasons to Hate Us

agreed.

CC said afterwards that one was his fault and one Posada's. Truth is Molina could have been crossed up and still caught those balls.

So you lose Posada's bat for 2-3 ABs. Big deal - you also don't have as many passed balls which can also cost you runs...

It's not a huge deal. A .373 home OBP isn't killing us, and he still takes a ton of pitches. Like jax said it will probably even out anyway. update: ...looking at Swisher's home splits since this thread start, it looks like the numbers are already starting to even out: .224/.384/.370/.754

retarded

The Yankees acquired Jerry Hairston Jr. from the Reds, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. MLBTR

Along with Wallace the A's acquired Outfielder Shane Peterson and righty Clayton Mortensen, according to MLBTR

He hurt his quad last year too. It probably nagged him all season in the field.

So was Andy's pitching, especially in the 2nd half. The Yankee offense is improved this year, but who knows if Pettitte can even put up what he did last year..

What good is a 7 inning game if you dont have the lead after 7?

I could see them dealing Nady for prospects to save 5.5M or whatever he makes, upping Andys offer to 12M to get him to sign, and pocketing the rest. It's a win-win.

I like to think of this move as an upgrade over Shelley Duncan :thumbsup:

Joba will be the 5th because of his innings cap The Johnson signing has nothing to do with Pettitte. They Yankees would be looking to add pitching depth regardless of whether or not Pettitte signs. And there are still plenty of good pitching options out there for the #4 spot if Andy doesn't sign, so I don't think the Yankees are worried yet.

Don't forget Shawn Chacon
