yea curry is just plain awful

ever since they moved the kickoff spot, distance has meant a lot more, hurts the accuracy of kickers

you must be looking at the wrong team

I still see the Yankees trying to sign a frontline starter considering their rotation is Johnson, Mussina, Wang, and Pavano so far, two coming off of surgeries. Let's say that you go with what you have and Hughes wins the fifth slot, that won't stand a chance compared to the Red Sox rotation of Schilling, Beckett, Matsuzaka, Papelbon, and Wakefield. Well, I'm stretching it a bit, but out of these two theoretical rotations, I think the Red Sox' is better. I don't see the Yankees standing pat...I mean, they'll try to sign someone, whether or not they do is another story.

hey you never know, by the end of the season, our starting rotation might be wang, mussina, hughes, clippard, rasner, why frankly doesnt bother me at all... personally, schilling getting old doesnt scare me all that much anymore, beckett after last year's performance, you cant rely on him... wakefield, his age is going to bring down his production eventually, papelbon truthfully is an unproven starter right now as well, which leaves you with matsuzaka, and despite the fact i wanted him on the yankees, if you do happen to follow through and sign him, he is also unproven.

yankees might go with what they have:

In the Bronx, while Cashman is wiping his roster clean of players (Gary Sheffield and Jaret Wright) that insiders say he wanted nothing to do with in the first place, word is that he's focusing on his minor league depth as much as the improvements needed to improve his club at the major league level.

Frankly, that's unheard of for a Yankee GM not named Gene Michael, but a clear message to the rest of baseball that the Yankees are not going to squander their young players for someone else's costly mistakes.

 

Of course, that won't stop dopey sportswriters from proposing lopsided deals, as we learned in last week's Rumor Mill.

 

More importantly, Cashman's growing role as a major player and power broker is scaring the "bejeezus" out of the mid-market teams, says one MLB scout, who says that "a Yankee team looking at the big picture and long-term franchise screws up the market.

 

"Teams that call the Yankees are facing the reality that Cashman actually wants All-Star caliber players in return for his highly-rated prospects, not the one-dimensional veterans that used to litter the Yankee roster every year. That's bad for baseball."

 

Well, that's nonsense. But is sure is thought-provoking, to say the least.

 

Another baseball official, who was recently rebuffed by the Yankees in one trade discussion, said that "Cashman is telling teams that (Phillip) Hughes is not available -- under any circumstances."

 

According to others, however, the Yankees are "very much in the market for another veteran starter, likely a left-hander". If this is the case, wouldn't it be interesting to discuss which one would make the most sense?

 

Not if it's based on fantasy, said one AL scout.:

 

"The Yankees may think about Ted Lilly, but they've been there, done that. The Yankees can't get Willis without Hughes, and Mark Mulder's health is a concern. Honestly, I see the Yankees going with kids and the guys they already have."

usa today has it at 2.5... home team always gets 3 points, so we're technically the underdog

didnt see week 6 anywhere... i haven't posted my picks yet but they're on yahoo which has been frozen, is it ok if i post them later?

still no week 6 or 7 results?

take out the year coughlin went 4-12... his first year shouldnt mean much, he had a rookie qb halfway through the season and a broken team otherwise

can we get the week 6 and 7 results? i need to know where i stand so i know how risky i need to make my picks

what about last week?

how exactly do you plan on getting rid of arod and damon with getting absolutely nothing in return? you also plan on bringing up hughes with no aaa experience, and duncan who was so bad at aaa that we demoted him, yet he can handle 3b in the majors, even after being moved to first?
