The Prime Locker Would Go to…
by RussYes, the Mayor. It was a slight trick question becuase the instinct is to say “Jeter.” I remember Mariano starting against Cleveland in June during a double header when the Yanks needed a spot starter. It might have been the series when Mike Stanley hit 3 HRs…. anyway, yeah, the greatest reliever of all time was a starter. The braintrust at the time (Gene, Buck and Nardy Contreras believed Mo should go to the pen) and the rest is history.
With regard to Laynce Nix. Heck, ship Henn out to Texas for Nix and have Bubba and Nix battle it out in spring training. Bubba will be out of options next year….
