    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.
  3. 26 Reasons to Hate Us
    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

    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?
  12. 26 Reasons to Hate Us
    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
  16. 26 Reasons to Hate Us
    I don't know how serious it is. I mean he will get a ST invite, but hughes, aceves, and even kennedy and coke have to be ahead of him for the spot right now.

    when is Kevin Cash official?!?!?!?!?

    The Yankees have signed RHP Jason Johnson to a minor-league deal. Joe Girardi said Johnson would compete to be the fifth starter. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/01/06/yankees-sign-jason-johnson/ Some other minor news, Shelley Duncan was DFA'd to make room for Tex. Phil Coke will train as a starter for spring training. http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/01/06/duncan-designated-coke-to-start/

    Yeah, I get the ego thing, and I'm sure it is a big part of what's going on here. I guess we will see who blinks first in the next few weeks.

    Because you pay a guy for what you think he will do for you this season, not what he has done for the team the last 10 years. I understand that reasoning about the pay cut, but baseball is a different beast. In the business world, the older you get and the more experience you have, the more value you have. You are paid for your past success and experience. This is true until you retire. Not so in baseball. You are paid based on what you are projected to do, based on your past. There comes a time when your skills decline, and your projections for the future are lowered. It's a bell curve instead of a steady increase. Besides, look at all of the other veteran guys who are taking a pay cut this year. It's not like Andy is in a unique situation here. The Yankees gave him a more than fair offer based on the market this offseason.

    Here's a braoder article that puts the yankee payroll into perspective: http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/oracle/discussion/yankees_signed_teixeira/
