He has no grade point average.

Up and down from Buffalo to NY. Performance? A step back, he was hard used last season.

Pujols has had ten "perfect seasons", is the best player in the game and can point to Arod's contract as a precedent. Beyond that, with no evidence at all I am confident he is a juicer.

Mets bench guy as he passes through on to a long career as a AAAA player.

I like Ike.

Who's on first.

If Emaus sticks as a backup, who backs up Reyes, Tejada?

Amended by Rubin today. Cleared to throw by Spring Training, not now. Thanks Adam

Or, put another way, $27 mil/year invested just to get through the 8th & 9th innings. Oh well, at least Yanx fans can feel confident in Cashman's excellent track record for signing multi-million dollar set-up guys: - Steve Karsay -- 4 yrs/$21mil at age 30 ... pitched one full season and then a total of 12 innings over the next three - Kyle Farnsworth -- 3 yrs/$17mil at age 30 ... ~ 170 IPs; 4.50 ERA; 1.45 WHiP - dealt away before the deal ended - Damaso Marte -- 3 yrs/$12 + option at age 34, 1 year (plus option) still remains ... so far: 31 IPs; 6.39; 1.36 WHiP - LaTroy Hawkins -- 1 yr/$3.75mil at age 35 ... 41 IP; 5.71 ERA; 1.44 WHiP - paid Houston to take him by the end of July - Luis Vizcaino -- 1 yr/$3mil at age 32 ... 75 IPs; 4.30 ERA; 1.45 WHiP - Tom Gordon -- 2 yrs/$7.25 at age 36 ... ~ 170 IPs; 2.40 ERA; 1.00 WHiP - Paul Quantrill -- 2 yrs/$6mil at age 35 ... ~ 125 IPs, 6.00 ERA, 1.60 WHiP Gordon worked out well while he was there. The others, not so much. When I first saw this I thought Alfonso Soriano was in LF again. This Soriano can be the Yankee closer in the future.

Is'nt there a card game every night?

Do you think it would have been announced by now?

14-10 4.00 ERA
