    If Dye returns to his 1.000+OPS level, he would make your lineup murder. And that could mean less PT for Drew, but is that really a bad thing for you guys?

    Per Michael Kay... The Yankees have converted Joba Chamberlain to a reliever in AAA and will likely call him up in the near future. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD MOVE!!! The last thing I want is this kid, who has injury questions, to enter the Joe Torre bullpen bootcamp.

    he said he has "stuff" on ARod. He said nothing about roids. I wouldnt be surprised if he has a detailed list of his infidelities, though.

    The way the Patriots do it is sustainable, which is very rare in the NFL. Most teams build up, have a 2 yr window then go in the shitter. The Pats continually reload and have proven that the system makes the player, and not the other way around. I am hoping that Mangini has brought that to the Jets, because last yr the Jets were an awful team personell wise, but somehow made the playoffs. We'll see. Soon, Belichek will have his "Bill Walsh coaching tree" and his secrets might come out. But with Belichek goes this franchise. If he does leave in a yr or two which was speculated for a few weeks after the postseason, then he will be the single biggest loss to the franchise.

    I dont like the idea of dealing any of our prospects for a 3 month rental when we are 6 games out of a playoff spot. I said earlier in the yr that a season where we became sellers wouldnt be the worst thing. The WORST thing is getting close enough to be buyers but not close enough to make any noise. This is where we are standing now. We sell our souls for this season and then make up half of the deficit while watching the playoffs. I'd take this team to war and see what happens. No moves right now. Ride it out and see if someone floats on the waiver wire if we get close.

    Clippard and Inman are pretty much the same prospect.
  7. jacksonianmarch
    We'll see if it is true. I dont think it is. But of all the entities, Gagne is the one that must be dealt since he is a FA. And with his insistence on being a closer next season, there is nearly no chance of him being any more than just a rental. So this hurts his value anyway. I dont think Gagne will bring any major prospects and who knows, Clippard may be the best they can get.

    Just heard one of those "The radio from XYZ said THIS TRADE IS DONE" Take it for what it is worth, but News Radio 1080 KRLD in Dallas announced that the yankees will send Brett Gardner and Tyler Clippard to Texas for Gagne.

    valiant effort. Damon f***ed us.
  10. jacksonianmarch
    It may be time for Damon to be DL'd. he sucks
  11. jacksonianmarch
    And Johnny Damon f***s up.
  12. jacksonianmarch
    that is not what I am saying. I am saying the yankees wouldnt start a player if a deal was imminent. Why risk sending the kid out there and getting hurt if a deal was on the table?
  13. jacksonianmarch
    he is falling back with his velocity. When he is throwing mid to high 90s, nobody will touch him, so if he walks a couple it wont matter since nobody can hit him. But after going through the Joe Torre arm removing program he is having trouble sitting above 92 and he is getting lit. When his FB is on, it has very strong late life and sits 95. Right now it is flat and slow. He might be toast.
  14. jacksonianmarch
    he is certainly reverting to the mean these days. Guy cannot find the zone.
  15. jacksonianmarch
    No. But he is very similar. Gardner is technically faster in "speed rankings" which are mostly made off of 40 and 60yd times, but Ellsbury is the better baserunner as evidenced by his huge SB lead. Gardner takes more walks but also K's more. Ellsbury hits more doubles while Gardner is mostly a singles hitter. Neither will hit a lot of homers. Neither will be big SLG guys. Both could get on base their fair share and both will steal bases. But Ellsbury is clearly the better prospect, no question. But they are rather similar.

    Gabbard and Lester remind me of Chacon and Small from 2 yrs ago. Neither had great location, neither had great stuff, but both had balls and went for it.
  17. jacksonianmarch
    That is not what I said at all Kilo. I said that their starting today likely means nothing is imminent with them. If there was a deal that was imminent, they would not have made their start. Just like Gardner if he is in fact being dealt. Doesnt mean they wont strike a deal tomorrow, just saying, right now. The fact that Gardner, who is not hurt or being rested to the best of my knowledge, was held out 2 days before the deadline and right when the reports of gagne to the yankees comes out, could mean something. All I am saying is, IF Gardner and Marquez are getting dealt, why hold one guy out and let the other, a pitcher, throw? It doesnt make sense. Now, what I am worried about is that Gardner is moving with Horne for Gagne. That would be a monumental mistake IMO. Horne is solid. I'd move the younger, safer bet, but lower ceilinged Marquez before I consider moving Horne.
  18. jacksonianmarch
    we might be regardless. The fact that you guys are throwing up the Gabbard's Tavarez's, and Lester's of the world (no disrespect to the kid, but he doesnt have much in terms of stuff or location right now) and widening the lead is a very ominous sign.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Brett Gardner, the CF for AAA Scranton who is essentially an Ellsbury type prospect with less power was held out of the lineup today. At the same time, Jeff Marquez and Ian Kennedy both threw today and went 6 innings apiece. Both of them were considered possible moving parts and their starting today likely means that nothing is imminent with either of them.
  20. jacksonianmarch
    I saw the interview yesterday. He said that he was throwing 90 but the swings were looking like they were 95-96 meaning that his late life is back.
  21. jacksonianmarch
    well, this one is over, 9 out in the ALE. f***ing A. Remember that dickpunch line? At least the Guardians are losing.

    Joe Torre is a moron. Pulling the IF in and forgetting about Patterson at 1st, giving him an easy steal. f***ing jerk.
