The GM said Fuenmayor was 16 years old. One major-league team executive said Fuenmayor is a "high-profile player who a lot of teams are on currently." A lot of teams are on him? That's a funny way of putting it.Great baseball name.

soupcan Old-Timey Member Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Hey Balby, appreciate your coming down but we're all set for third base for the next 20 years, thanks.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Throwing big bucks at very young but high-ceiling, 'toolsy' Latin teenagers is going to become a hallmark of the Minaya administration I suspect.The Yanx used this strategy for a spell in the mid/late '90s but have scaled back a bit after finding it a very expensive way of mining for talent.

Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I could never understand why all these idiots, er...Yankee fans, love the Babe when THEY WEREN'T ALIVE WHEN HE PLAYED!!!I'm glad I got that off my chest.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Nothing worse than a 21 y/o Yanqui fan bragging about "their" 26 championships.

They'll be the first ones to jump off the bandwagon once the Yankees start to decline. Yep, it is Sterling with that vomiticious line. Another one is "A-Bomb by A-Rod".Do we need a poll to ask which call is worse? Or is it worth it? After all, its about the Yankees.Later

Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 We're getting away from discussing the impending arrival of Bal-BEEEEEEE-no Foo-en-MAY-or!.What I know. The guy also plays outfield, at least he did in this game.That may be his only at-bat of the year with that team.
