I’m on bored with all 5 guys to let go from the Marchand article.
Are you bored or on board?
Marchand is an idiot for his ridiculous Arod trade idea. There is not way the Yankees would take on both Reyes and Buehrle. They would be adding salary in 14 to do so.
ha sorry no coffee before i wrote that. 3 cups in now so I am awake. Long night yesterday. I am on board with getting rid of those players. Not for who he wants though for A-Rod.
I think getting rid of Hughes and Joba is fine. Let them go. I’m pretty sure Joba wants to start. Let him go somewhere we he can get that chance again.
Joba is a keeper but, not a starter. I would keep him if they can work out a deal.
Yes, how can any real Yankee fan want to get rid of Joba and Hughes I don’t get it! Home grown, very talented pitchers…..
Hank what do you think of Loshe?
Matt, I am not a big fan. He is more of a fly ball pitcher and right handed so that goes against my beliefs with respect to pitching in NY. Plus he’s going to want decent money over too many years. I would rather take a flyer on McCarthy on a 2 year deal and sign Pelfry on a 1 year plus team option for 14.
thanks for the thoughts Hank. you want Pelfrey?
Yes as I think Pelfry on a make good deal could be solid. I don’t have much expectation for success next year but the team option for 14 could be valuable an important.
WILL AROD REACH 3500 HITS?
arod needs 599 hits over 5 seasons to reach 3500 hits,, thats 119.8 hits a season
arod averaged 124.25 hits a season over the past 4 seasons
Wally Mathews would be better off letting his dog write for him. His “pin the tail on the donkey” approach to sports writing makes you want to pour molten metal into your eye sockets so you never have to risk running into one of his articles even by accident.
