My next profile will be either new 1st baseman and power hitter Geraldo Rodriguez or left handed submariner R.J. Swindle.
Which would you guys prefer?
Foulke out, Dotel in?

Quote:
While agent Dan Horwits has confirmed that reliever Keith Foulke has turned down salary arbitration, the Red Sox are one of the finalists currently in the hunt for reliever Octavio Dotel.
I was hoping the Yankees resign Dotel since he's coming back from T.J surgery
My vote would be for Rodriguez. After all, a power hitter is always far more interesting than soft-tossing lefty.
Great so the yanks paid him to get back into shape so he could go pitch for the redsox.
Chris Russo Just said on his show Unless The Yankees trade Arod's this Offseason, The Yankees will repeat the process - lost in first rounds again every year and Arod's will go 0-21 in playoffs and choke..
Yankees Bullpen still messed? Needs to be fix
Do you trust Mike Myers against his Former teammates Redsox?
Myers who gave up homerun to Ortiz. Second He Hit Mirabelli in purpose which gave up a winning run to the Redsox.
Farnsworth = Can he go back to back games? He has plus and straight fastball but He loves throwing his Slider instead.
Same Thing Proctor - He has a straight fastball.
Bring back Aaron Boone as replacement for Cairo. He can play third and also he's former second baseman in his career. Can Yankees bring him back as backup infielder? thoughts
Who is the Evil Empire?
Talk of Misconduct Is Swirling Around Red Sox
[quote]
The Boston Red Sox might think of the Yankees as the Evil Empire, but other people in baseball now seem to view the Red Sox as a team that feels it can operate outside the rules.
According to executives of several clubs, the Red Sox were a hot topic of private conversation at the general managers’ meeting last month and at the winter meetings this week. Several officials who work for Major League Baseball said there appeared to be good reason for the talk. Many of those interviewed did not want to be quoted by name because of what they viewed as the sensitivity of talking critically about another team’s conduct.

Can you anyone here compares Both Yankees and Redsox .Obp and .Ops?
Which of these two teams has better average as in Obp?
thanks..
http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/st...mit&
timeFrame=1
.363 to .351 in favor of the Yankees for OBP (the yankees blew everyone out of the water last season) and .461 to .435 in terms of Slg% in favor of the Yankees.
J.D. Drew and Julio Lugo will help the Sox out though.
Adding Lugo and J.d Drew , Can you add the Obp averages for next year Redsox 2007? thanks

The Yankees are willing to give Shea Hillenbrand $5 million on a one-year deal but Hillenbrand reportedly has two-year options elsewhere. Maybe the Yankees should ditch their idea to get a righthanded hitter for first base and try to reacquire Nick Johnson. Just an idea: How about Humberto Sanchez for Johnson?
This is another reason I hate the Red Sox, they called us the Evil Empire, most MLB people believe the Red Sox are earning that title more, the Dodgers will probably file a complaint to the Red Sox for the whole J.D Drew situation and Bug Selig better do something about this bidding system with the Matsuzaka situation, if the Red Sox used this bidding to block D-Mat to go to the Yankees, there's going to be alot of trouble, he would have to return to Japan and that would send a bad message to MLB and Japan as well sending back a high price player who wants to go for his Major League career. I find it so hard to believe the Red Sox have more money to sign a deal for Matsuzaka, think about it, 70 million for Drew, 36 to 39 million Lugo with an option and 51 million on the Matsuzaka bid as well negotating a contract.
b]Kazmir continues to rehab injured left shoulder[/b]

[quote]TAMPA, Fla. -- Devil Rays pitcher Scott Kazmir expects to be ready for spring training after missing most of the second half last season because of an injured left shoulder.
"There's no doubt I'll be ready," Kazmir said Friday at a toy collection drive. "My shoulder feels great. It's 100 percent."
Wang vs Kazmir in Opening Day Yankee stadium. Can't wait
Petite - Fossum Game 2
Mussina - Shields - Game 3
Yankees vs Orioles at Camden Yards
Rj vs Wright -
Pavano/Igawa vs Loewen
34 years old with an injury history. Coming off a 4.20 ERA in the NL, with a career 3.81 ERA - he gets $16MM.
Zito is 28. He's coming off a year in which he had a 3.83 ERA in the AL. He has a career 3.55 ERA (all in the AL), and he's pitched over 200 inning for every one of the last six years. What's he worth?
I would rather invest that money on Zito than Petite.
My Predictions for Yankees rotation in Win and Losses 2007?
Wang - He won 19 games and second in cy young young in 2006 . The Al east improved dramatically . Wang's will not repeat his success from winning 19 games last year. I think He will win between 13-14 games and 4.25 era
Pettite -
"Welcome back Andy" The Yankees pitching legend has return. My predictions will be 15-7 with era 4.35
Mussina
16-7 and 3.67 era
RJ- 17-9 5.00 era
Pavano/Igawa - 15-10 and era with 4.48
I'll try.
Chien-Ming Wang 18 wins, 3.78 ERA
Mike Mussina 17 wins, 3.97 ERA
Randy Johnson 11 wins, 4.34 ERA (misses a month to start the year)
Andy Pettitte 15 wins, 4.01 ERA
Kei Igawa 14 wins, 3.95 ERA
* - One of the above will get injured, and Phil Hughes will pitch 160 major league innings with an ERA better than anyone on the list.
True or False
Joe Torre's clueless and mismanaged the Bullpen?
Paul Quantrill who was overworked by Joe torre. It cost them winning the Alcs in 2004 and going to winning world series. I remembered that Day when Ortiz hits game winning homerun against Quantrill. I still had nightmares and flashback from that series.
True or False
Besides, Starting pitching, clutch timely hitting and defense. An important key in winning the playoffs is the bullpen
True or False
Yankees will break the record in 2007 for 1000 runs in a season ?
True or False
Yankees will score more 5.5 runs per game next year?
True or False
Mariano and Proctor is only reliable guys you can put in pen and they're workhorses?
Predicts how many starts will Pavano will make in 07 and wins?

I hope Cashman sign one more pitcher for insurance policy.
Suppan, Mulder and Batista. I'm will be happy if CashMoney sign three of these pitchers.
Good get, but it won't get Yanks over the top - By Filip Bondy of Ny Daily News
"Pettitte is a solid addition, a smart gamble. But he is not the move that breaks a three-series playoff losing streak. Right now, the Yankees still figure to be just another one of eight teams playing baseball in October, nothing more. "
"Pettitte is now another Yankee starter who is not an ace. The team has a lot of those. The Yanks' main hope right now is that W@ng, a talented finesse guy, can somehow step up and embarrass people in October the way that Kenny Rogers did for the Tigers, only without the pine tar. "
"Since then, the Yankees haven't thought that large. They haven't really chased anybody who would put them over the top. They've just filled a pothole here, a wagon rut there. They lost the bidding war for Daisuke Matsuzaka, who may be a difference-maker. They've seemed oddly disinterested in other free agent pitchers."
W@ng is a finesse pitcher? Are you kidding me? He throws 94-97mph. This Idiot Writer Compares Him to Kenny Rogers. What a Joke...

Do you think Yankees could sign Free agent Edgardo alfonso in minor league contract and possibly as backup infielder
No.
We can do a lot better. He's got no bat or glove left.
