I dont think Giradi should take the O's job. Being in the same division with the Yankees Red Sox and a underrated Blue Jays team would be a tough task year in and year out.

Schilling had one of the worst starts of his career tonight. He had no K's gave up 6 runs and double digit hits.

Giambi will meet with them and then what? It's all a bunch of postering. The worse thing he could do is not meet with htem, after that however I don't see anything coming from this.

Yeah, I'm not even really understanding the whole Giambi thing. What is it about? Selig wants him to meet with the investigator or whatever and if he doesn't he's gonna attempt to suspend him or something? Doubt that will happen.

Yeah, he never gets a full night off. He's usually the DH when he isn't catching (when Mussina pitches).

I heard the Yankees are interested in trading for Helton or Hillebrand.

Helton can be raw for a month then go a 2 month slump and Hillebrands nothing special. So if I was the Yankees I would just keep my prospects

Agreed Dragon. I did hear we were prepared to go shopping pretty soon. Either before or after the all star game. Word going around is for a 1B and a Relief Pitcher.
Doug Mientkiewicz should be back pretty soon and Giambi is up in the air. Cairo seems to be pulling his weight and we just called up Andy Phillips and sent out Josh Phelps. So we should be set for the year there. Relief wise. I don't know. We seem to be solid right now. I guess one more guy couldn't hurt. But I think we should be looking at 1 more starter. With Karstens, Rasner, and Hughes out for a good while (I dare not mention Carl Pavano), that 5th guy has been interchangeable. Clippard has his good days and bad days. The last thing we need is DeSalvo back. I would maybe suggest bring Kei Igawa back for another run. |

And Hillenbrand that guy may and I do mean may be a help on the playing field. But he's gonna be a poison in the Yankee clubhouse. I want nothing to do with Shea based on what I saw from him in Toronto. And I was told he said that the Red Sox manager was a Fag on a radio station when he was with the Red Sox. Thanks but no thanks to Shea. We're better off with Andy or Cairo. |

lol yeah, Schilling's injury is a little suspect. At least it seems to be with the way it's being reported.

Your Hero and Sammy G, did you all have a little wager on your Dodgers/Blue Jays interleague series? At least rep to whose team won the series.

Fox Sports insider said that the Yankees would prolly consider a 2 for 1 deal getting Tex and Gagne for Hughes

Coming into this Colorado series all the hype was about all the high scoring games that will happen. The Yankees have done absolutely nothing on offense, and the Rockies are at the high point with 6 runs.

The Yankees rotation is the problem in the future and even though Hughes is still a prospect I'd rather see him here than Teixera for a year and a half. As the rotation stands right now, the Yankees have Wang and Hughes here for 2009 and thats it. (Not counting any other prospects that will probably come up). |

Yeah, trading Hughes would be pretty tough. I mean the Yankees problem isn't offense, but I suppose Gagne could help - I'm not totally sure how well Gagne has been this year tho. I know he started off on the DL...has he come back strong or something? If he has just been average then I would def be against that deal if I was a Yankees fan

Hughes has LOTS of potential, that would be like asking the Phillies to trade Cole Hamels.

Could you imagine the Yankees if they had both Mariano and Gagne in their primes?

Yeah but at the same time does Cashman have time to wait around?
I feel like if the Yankees end up not making the playoffs he will be the one getting the axe, not Torre |

He already took a step back for this year by trading Sheffied, etc...so he has a plan in mind. Hopefully he doesn't trade Hughes for Teixera. Who really is a quick fix for the moment unless he is positive he could get a contract extension done with him.
If the Yankees don't make the playoffs, Torre won't be back. And if they do he probably will ( no matter how far they get into it). Cashman is kind of in a tough spot, because he's expected to win now and to build for the future. It will be pretty rough if he gets fired after what he's done for the farm lately. |

Not saying Cashman is a genious or anything but he did great things for the future so far. He should have planned some stuff better for this season though. Planning to rely on Pavano, the bench and bullpen could have been done a little better.
