Sorry, Russ, you didn’t convince me.   To me, this is a no brainer, especially when you look back at the dynasty team of the late 90’s.  Look at the type of players they had… play hard every day, do anything to win.  Is that Manny? No.  Is that Texiera?  Yes.  I don’t care how many [...]

Good post Mike, on the numbers between Manny and Texeria.  The numbers are somewhat similar, of course Tex is better with the glove.  And this is a difficult choice – Manny isn’t perfect – otherwise it would be a no brainer.  I’m going to break with my more traditional inclinations and offer an enthusiastic vote [...]

In reference to the reported 3-year, $75 million offer to Manny:
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman shot down the report early Monday. “Not true,” Cashman wrote in a text message.

The Man – Manny.   As a loyal reader (JimMc) pointed out in my Post “$75 Million reasons to say no.”  Manny would be motivated 19 times a year (all the games against Boston).  That is undoubtedly true.  But he does really like New York.  I have heard stories that back when Willie was the 3rd [...]

Wow…I didn’t think the Giants would pull that one out. I turned off the game.
As for the Yanks and Tex/Manuel….I think their thinking may go a little like this:
“Teixeira is good. Probably very good. But (as Russ mentioned earlier) he’s not one of the top players in the game; He’s just one of the top free [...]

The New York Giants.  Nice job.  That was clutch – with home field advantage throughout the playoffs staring them in the face they came back and beat a determined Carolina team.  Many kudos to Ward to rushed for 215 yards.  Nice going all around.
For the Jets, well….. that’s a different story.   So, how about those [...]

Even though he spent time with NYY, I still think of him as a Pirate. Of course, his claim that he pitched his no-hitter under the influence of LSD is mentioned in all his obits. He spent his later life as an addiction counselor, so I do believe he spent time as a heavy substance abuser. [...]

Texeria wants this done by Christmas.  The Red Sox offer is believed to be about $170.  Texeria reportedly wants $185-190.  Does Boras go to the Yankees next week and give them a crack at it like Beltran?  Mike and I were talking last week and if you go through the top 20 players you probably [...]

Here are my thougts:
Bernie: He’s not going to offer any protection for A-Rod.  Even in the best case scenario.  I’m not saying he can’t be in shape or even make the team, but even if he makes the team – I don’t think he will return to All-Star caliber level in order to protect A-Rod.  [...]

Yesterday on WFAN, they were talking about how the Yanks should consider Bonds.
I wouldn’t be averse to bringing in Bonds for a year. The issue is this: He hasn’t played since 2007, so who knows if he still has it???  Sure, you’ll know a little more in spring training…but if he is your only plan for A-Rod [...]
