The laundry has to be clean.  So I don’t want Bonds either.  I heard that Bernie was in shape and playing in Puerto Rico.  Maybe he’ll sign a minor league contract now.  Let’s see if he can still hit.

Manny is motivated by one thing.  Cash.  If you give it to him, what’s his motivation.  Yes, he would love to play in New York.  But he’s a big powder keg waiting to explode.  I’d rather spend $12-$14 million on a one year deal for Barry Bonds than $25M for three years of Manny.  If [...]

Russ…I also like Berkman. He’d fit in perfectly.
The Yanks asked about him in VERY early November…so early, in fact, that it might have still been October. They asked about both Berkman AND Oswalt.
At that time, the Astros communicated that neither Berkman nor Oswalt were available. I’ve heard on the radio and read that Drayton McLane [...]

John, I agree, we root for the laundry.  Manny is not my ideal of what a Yankee should be, but keeping it in perspective it is a temporary situation it will not be a long term deal.  I am only worried about throwing him in the mix with Girardi – Girardi’s personality doesn’t lend itself [...]

Mike G: Root for the laundry. I don’t care who is wearing the uniform, if you’re a fan of the team…you root for the laundry. If they sign Manny, and he crushes a three run bomb off Beckett…I will cheer. He he jogs to first…I will boo. Same as I do for every other player.
I [...]

Hank and Hal want Manny.

If he is on this team next year, I don’t care how well he does, I will boo him every time he steps to the plate.  I will not root for him to fail (that would just hurt the team more), but I will not embrace him with cheers.

Mike is right.  Back when Pettitte went to Houston, I was squarely behind him and being disrespected by the Yankees.  And in retrospect, the Yankees could have used Pettitte big time in 2004-2006.  Andy received a very generous contract last season and even under his own admission, under-achieved or performed.  The Yankees are not “lowballing” him [...]

Andy has no right to complain about his offer.  As you may recall, Mr. Pettitte negotiated a $16M contract last year with the Yankees, knowing that he was linked to the Mitchell report, knowing that he used HGH, and knowing that he was about to be dragged into the whole Clemens mess.   That didn’t stop [...]

82.5 million for Burnett?  That’s not what I was looking for.  5 years is too long to be locked into a guy with a history of not pitching 200 innings.  I think he’s only done it once.  We will cross our fingers and I guess at this point if Pettitte comes back into the fold [...]

Well, with Burnett Andy doesn’t have great cards to play, but I hope in the recent sit down with Cashman, Andy heard an offer, negotiated to a number acceptable to him , and then told Cash, “ordinarily we would be agreed, but it will cost you another million for screwing me and forcing me to [...]
