The Mets amuse since they no longer amaze. They sign Jason Bay, which is a good move, but the signing and the news of it is released in what is historically the slowest news week of the year, between major holidays. No ticket sale upticks there, if Bay even warrants any.  Guess Jason will have to convert to [...]

The NYY will pay a $25 million luxury tax – the only team in MLB hit with one this year.  Now Vasquez, it is startling. The rest of the American League, even the National League, how they must hate us. Other teams owners’ and GM’s have had their holidays ruined. It’s like the old Don [...]

Obtaining Vasquez for the rotation is definitley solid.  Since his first stint with the Yankees, he has posted very consistent numbers.  Obviously to the casual Yankee fan… this move will be a “wasn’t that the guy who lost the series to the Sox in 2004?”  Most of us know better – that Vasquez should not [...]

Brian Cashman must know that I like Yankee Championships for my birthday, because he just got me another great starting pitcher!   Yankees have apparently traded Melky Cabrera, LHP Mike Dunn, and Arodys Vizcaino to Atlanta for Javier Vazquez and LHP Boone Logan.  That give the Yankees an incredibly deep strike out machine rotation.  

C.C. Sabathia (LHP) 230 Inn, 3.37ERA, [...]

Melky and Dunn to the Braves for Javier Vazquez.  Lets hope he is first half Yankee season Javy and not second half Yankee season Javy.

The Rangers have apparently nixed the Mike Lowell deal due to the fact that Lowell has a torn ligament in his thumb.  If the Sox can’t move Lowell then they can’t get Beltre, because there’s nowhere for him to play (they can’t move Youkilis back to 3rd).  Thank you Texas for conducting an in-depth medical [...]

Chess, checkers….  If the 2 for 20 mill is true, that’s exactly what Damon should get.  He is not a $13 mill per year player, his defense doesn’t justify that and he’s not an all world offensive performer.  He’s very good, but not good enough to be compensated on the level he’s used to.   I’m [...]

“The sh#$’s chess, it ain’t checkers.”  Its all part of a plan.  Matsui decided he couldn’t wait.  The Yankees wanted to see where the Damon discussion went before the agreed with Matsui.  Would they have brought him back for $1M more than they are paying Johnson, most likely, but Matsui was on a different schedule and [...]

So, would you have taken Damon for 2 years, $20 million?  That is the reported counter-offer from Boras.
