Sheff and Giambi were good signings, over paid, but good. with the exception of Giambi in 04, they have been great

maybe now people will give them the respect they deserve, they have been fantastic so far this Spring

hmm, a white, established, young, cy young award winning pitcher that did it in a league where the other teams actually have an offense or a black outfield prospect? No brainer

my pussy is gettingmoist just thinking about it. Pierce, Arrington and the Emmons/Nick the Honkey...ooh wee

This is for your ridiculous RJ thread in the Yankee forum, Motes. Its Spring training for christs sake....and their first starts of the Spring at that.

yeah he does hit Ryan hard. That goes for all lefties

he's still going to suck. a circle change and a 88mph fastball can only take you so far

I dont know why, everyone knows he's an asshole, its a fact

Melky isnt the only outfield porspect the Yanks have, they are loaded with high ceilng prospects. Like I said, Damon is only 32 years old, since when is that old? he will be 35 when his contract is up, 35 is the usual age a player starts to get old and begins to decline. 32, 33 and 34 are still his prime years. prime years are 27-35 for baseball players who arent catchers.

it wasnt a mistake, it was a great move. The mistake would be having Bubba Crosby as the CF. Damon is a great lead off hitter, who can still run and is only 32. He's not old. They gave him 4 years and at the end of the 4 years he'll be 35(as his birthday is late int he year). He give us a top notch leadoff hitter a guy who can cover alot of ground in the outfield. And even if you say, but what about 2 years from now? Im not worried, the Yanks have an abundance of speedy, high ceiling outfielders in the minors right now, one of them will be ready to take the cf reigns by then. But I dont expect Damon to be done then either. It was a great signing, the got the best available player in for their need and they didnt give anything up for him except cash which the Yanks have plenty of.

actually the 86 Yankees were a pretty good team and if there was a wild card then they could have won the WS. Ron Guidry, Bob Tueksberry(sp?), Joe Neikro, Tommy John, Doug Drabeck and I believe Rassmusen. Rags to close it out Donny, Mike Easler, Pags, Griffey, Pasqua, Winfield, Ricky and Willy. They weren the best Yankee team, but they were not a bad team by any means.

toss up between 27 and 98. either team was unbeatable are are the best teams in the history of baseball..any franchise

Dotel had corrective surgery to repair a weakness in his tendon, not a tear. The tendon used that was taken from his leg was so big Dr Andrews was able to wrap it around his elbow 3 times. He should be great come June.

no caption necessary

he is not as good defensively in cf nor is he as good of a hitter. And in giving up one of the best prospects in the game for him, I wouldnt exactly say it didnt cost you anything. Plus when it comes to teams like the Yankees and Sox, money is no object. Im not saying Coco wont be good, he most likely will be very good. But he is not as good as Damon in every aspect of his game. Now 3 years from now, it might be a different story, but as of right now Damon is the better player. But that wont matter to the Yankees as they have 4 very good cf prospects.

my two cents..Johnny Damon is a all around better hitter, better leadoff hitter and better centerfielder than Coco Crisp. Not to mention all the intangibles he brought to the team. The Red Sox made a mistake not resigning him. Crisp is a good player, but he is not as good as Damon. These are just the facts

no big deal at all. he is confident in his teamates and Ill Philip Hughes is that good. He is an extremely talented young pitcher. Now calling him Roger Clemens is a stretch, but the kid is very good. He's only 19 years old. RJ is going to have a monster seasson 22-6 3.15 ERA

Iracist is out of his fucking mind. I guess he plans on screwing Dolan right before he gets fired. Ill tell you one thing, the knocks will now set records for 3 second violations. They should average at least 7 a night with Rose, Marbury and Fancis on the floor. Poor Eddy Curry will be stranded in the pain awaiting the pass he will never recieve while the whistles blow for the 3 second vilolation. I hear Iracist is going to have a deal worked out with Dever to bring in K Mart before the day is through. Great, adding over 100 mil in salary in just a few hours. Fuck you Iracist

only 2 MVP awards and multiple GG's.

I guess Ozzie never got this memo YOU WERE A CAREER 260 HITTER WHO NEVER WON SHIT, SHUT THE FUCK UP

The Yanks have the best line up in baseball. They have good starting pitching, not great, but good and they have more depth than you think. Henn, DeSalvo, Rasner and DePaula can all be called up to spot start...and they will be before Erickson. They have the best bull pen in the division by far and one of the best in all of baseball. Gary Cantfield is the only real big defensive liability. Damon is a better fielder than you all are giving him credit for. He just has a shitty arm, but he can go get it. Matsui is an average fielder. The infield defense should be fine. Giambi, contrary to popular belief, is a pretty good fielder, he just cant throw the ball....but how often does a first baseman have to throw the ball? DH and the bench are the only real weaknesses of the team.
