I am proceeding under the assumption that the rumor is valid in one respect: the Angels are interested in acquiring a power bat to protect Vlad. Joe, I agree that’s my assessment of Giambi too but we’ve seen him everyday since 2002. But one man’s trash is another’s trove. There’s always an owner dumb enough [...]

No GM in his right mind would trade for Giambi. I don’t care how much of his salary the Yankees agree to pick up. He’s always hurt. He can’t Run or play the field. And he is a constant Steroid distraction. Finally, he is not producing and probably never will again.

If I’m trading Giambi to the Angels, Casey Kotchman has to come the other way. A young (24) year old, 6′ 3″, left-handed bat and arm first baseman is not easy to find. And I have a gut feeling he would play first base for the Yankees for a long time.

Scott Hatteberg of the Reds. That’s who the Yankees could try to get. He’s a proven and decent hitter (left handed) with moderate power. He’s also a serviceable fielder. Is he as good as Doug M? No. But he’s better than Giambi and if he hits 8th – that will be fine. So, if the [...]

What a job. I can’t say enough about how he has pitched thus far this season. His second start against the Red Sox was a little disappointing but obviously if anyone has watched his starts he has truly earned about 6-7 wins this year that he didn’t get. We needed that win – and Andy [...]
