If he is off….

…. on the cheatin’ side of town, Brian Cashman should have scouted his off-season call-up partner a little more, probably not have even drafted her.
You could take this anywhere with baseball analogies.

Texiera

So Texiera now says he will try to bunt against the shift.  What a revelation.  Only took him 4 years in pinstripes to make that decision.   He’s still not 100% committed, saying… that if he is one for twenty in bunting he’ll have to go back to the drawing board. What confidence!

Posada

After 17 years Posada can retire comfortably. The salary structure is such that you don’t need that last “hang on” year any more. Babe Ruth with the Boston Braves (although he was hoping for a manager slot), Hank Aaron with the Brewers (saw him live vs. NYY at Shea), Willie Mays and Duke Snider with [...]

Montero/Pineda

Good Trade.  Not sure if Montero will ever be better than a below average catcher, and this team does not need a 23 year old DH.  So, I’d rather have a young arm that throws 95+ with lots of upside.

Trade

Wow… Not a word about Montero/Pineda.  This place really is dead.

Jorge

No one played the game with more passion. I think he will have a hard time leaving the game.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he winds up on the coaching staff in 2013.

Best Wishes

To Jorge Posada, who hung up his mitt quietly through an ESPN story.  No way Posada would play elsewhere and drag it out as DH (even assuming someone would want him.)
He was a pro’s pro.

Vee Have Vays of Making You Hit!

A-Rod on the recommendaiton of Kobe Bryant and with the blessing of the Yankees and the Commissioner’s office, was sent off to Germany for some sort of centrifuge treatment for his knee.   You can’t make this stuff up.
In other news, the Yankees signed Hideki Okajima to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring [...]

Gio Gonzalez

Go get the young man from Oakland. Give them Montero and nothing else. We have other catching prospects. When Swisher is done, we’ll sign Andre Ether from the Dodgers to be a bat and play right field.
Gonzalez has pitched well for a bad team. A club can control him [...]

Memo to the Mets

To: Mets fans
Fr: Roundtable
Re: Jose Reyes
Do not be mad at Jose Reyes for leaving. Your team never made an offer. Reyes went back to the Mets after the Marlins made their offer and it was met with silence. He can’t play for the Mets if they never offer him a contract and [...]
