Yea in that case Williams might be too much to give up for a rental. The only good thing is if he leaves we get a draft pick. But he immediately slots in as a very nice 2/3.

Boy that Melke for Vazquez trade is really looking bad now.

I don't think Melky would have ever played as well for the Yankees. He said himself that getting traded was a wake up call and make him get in better shape and prepare better. Sometimes its just bad luck.

You're hurting Boone Logan's feelings.

Dierking · 07-09-2012, 01:19 PM

That's a good point right there. That makes me feel a little better.

Cappy · 07-09-2012, 01:29 PM

And Dante Bichette Jr.

Dierking · 07-09-2012, 02:35 PM

Lets not lose our heads already.

Cappy · 07-09-2012, 02:53 PM

And the Puerto Rican revenue streams!

Dierking · 07-09-2012, 03:44 PM

Think the Yanks do all right with the exchange rate on that one?

21stAmendment · 07-09-2012, 11:50 PM

No one wants Dellin Betances, dude can't throw strikes. Yankees demoted him this season.

Jake · 07-10-2012, 12:23 AM

^Very dissapointing a year or two ago he was highly touted.

Why, is 69 walks in 74 innings bad?

russell martin, wow

Andruw Jones' & Raul Ibanez's combined stats:

24 HRs & 64 RBIs for a combined $3.1 million... well done Cashman

Jake · 07-17-2012, 11:19 PM

Yanks are rollin this is what we need to see. Andruw Jones is a great part time player.

GQMartin · 07-18-2012, 07:24 AM

Haven't posted much in this thread this season.

I heard during last night's game Gardy is probably out for the year.

I love what I'm seeing from Cano, even Tex is hitting in clutch situations. A-Rod is still dramatically underproducing, IMO.

Dierking · 07-18-2012, 09:17 AM

Imagine if A-rod starts hitting on all cylinders?

Cappy · 07-18-2012, 09:45 AM

He hit the ball well last night, I thought. Nothing to show for it, but he was squaring it up...just right at people.

Dierking · 07-18-2012, 01:12 PM

so far so good.

Jake · 07-18-2012, 03:48 PM

Dewayne Wise, Jason Nix and Christ Stewart contributing lately call the payroll police.
