Bubba HAS NEVER been an everyday ballplayer. His average is decent because Joe has picked his spots and because scouting reports on a guy with as few career at-bats as Bubba are unreliable. Crosby’s weaknesses will be magnified as an everyday ballplayer.
Bubba can catch the baseball, but he’s got no arm.
Granted, the options [...]

First, could you jut imagine Garciaparra in Center. I think you might actually hear his hamstring pop from the upper deck. As for the Cetnerfield situation, my position is F**k everyone else. Cash should stand pat on this issue. Crosby is more than a viable option. He is [...]

I’ve heard Nomar mentioned. If there is any SS that’s going to be switching positions to CF, it’s Nomar. Although, if he’s given an offer to play SS, he will probably lean towards that. I don’t know if his ego will allow him to be a utility player or switching positions to [...]

I read a blog by Buster Olney on this…I like the idea.
If Nomar would be willing to accept a 1-2 year deal for a super-utility type role it would be a good fit. His bat heated up end of last season. He could spell Cano at second against a tought left hander, he could [...]

What do B. Cosby and B. Crosby have in common? One is a comedian, and one would be a joke as the centerfielder for the New York Yankees. But at least better than that Hispanic kid who had a cup of coffee mid-season who could not catch a fly ball.

I’ve reviewed both lists. Here are my thoughts:
Playing CF for the NY Yankees is a big job. Not only in prestige, but in actual responsibility as well. I feel confident that the Yankees will not be handing this huge responsibility to Bubba Crosby. I’m not saying he won’t be on [...]

Not in order of magnitude.
10) Dissension on the Coaching Staff: Strong personalities on this staff that may not deal well with the pressure or agree with the Joe Torre philosophy.
9) They’re counting on Carl Pavano.
8) Wang, Wright, Mussina were all injured at some point last year.
7) Johnson and Rivera are a year older.
6) [...]

10) Kevin Brown is no longer on the team.
9) Randy Johnson will pitch better (subject to avoiding injuries and the onset of old age in baseball terms) in his second year. Personally, I am not looking for much from him in his third and final year. He may be a [...]

And another thing, it’s not a huge deal, but the signing of Kelly Stinnet. Flaherty was a more than capable backup but it’s obvious this move is about making Randy Johnson happy since Stinnet caught him in Az. The Yankees have bent over backwards to make him feel comfortable. And it was [...]
