Yep, hopefully it happens. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Yanks free-up some big money and open up more possibilities at 3B/DH....
...and *2b.

I would have to believe Prado would then become the 3b which opens up competition for 2b - Refsnyder/Pirela ? The more the merrier.

We'll still need a SS & I just cannot shake this really bad feeling that its going to be Drew.
 
Honestly I'd like to see Headley play 3rd base, and Prado 2nd base.

I would be taking a long hard look at Vic Martinez for a DH.
 
I do hope this works out against A-Roid

If A-Rod is indicted, the Yankees could conceivably invoke Clause 7(b)1 in the CBA (under Termination options), which states that a “club may terminate this contract upon written notice to the Player . . . if the Player shall at any time: fail, refuse or neglect to conform his personal conduct to the standards of good citizenship and good sportsmanship . . .” The club could cite the damage to the club’s brand and reputation resulting from an indictment and argue that the damage constitutes grounds for termination; Rodriguez could still appeal.

If the Yankees are set on giving the rookie Refsnyder a shot at 2nd base I'd rather see them give Prado a shot at SS rather then settle on Drew.

OH YES, anyone instead of S. Drew. I'm surprised he's not taking mega doses of Iron Supplements for his Anemic Hitting, or lack of hitting.

Can the Yanx relegate Drew to BatBoy, or Clubhouse shoe shine boy?
 
I hope the Yanks can void ARoids contract and then waive a $25M/1YR contract at Jeter with an ownership group option.

Are you saying let Jeter play another year ???

Or- give him a minority owner job? If so, 25 Mil would barely buy him a yearly Suite at the Waldorf, a Limo, a Box Seat (who would want to sit with the Steins?) George yes, Hal no fkn way, I'd strangle him 1st.

Consultant.....?

What is it Jeter himself wants, to do with his 1st off year. You know he's got to be anxious to get his feet wet, in some capacity, probably....

Vic Martinez appears to be one of those guys who can get out of bed at midnight and hit a line drive or draw a walk.

I hear ya about Headley... and I think he could be a capable swing man for 3b/dh/1b...If one of those kids Refsnyder/Pirela can do the job at 2b, which will THEN open up 3b for Prado.
I think Prado just may be a better hitter than Headley at this point and we HAVE TO find out about those kids. Pirela looks like a hitter, he may be a bit undisciplined but he swings the bat and has shown he can hit -- albeit in a very short time. He still deserves a look.
Can't hold a short sample of work against the kid in any case.

If Refsnyder isn't on the opening day roster and seeing playing time for at least the first two months- it'll be because he is either injured,or fell on his face in ST or the first month of the season.

Don't mean to sound redundant but none of these idea's help with our lack of a SS. As I suggested earlier 3rd base will be A-Rod / Headley, 2nd base HOPEFULLY will be the kid Refsnyder & Prado could & should be given the shot at SS. And that is providing the Yankees don't go after guys like Cabrera or Lowrie for SS. JMO.

None of those ideas shouldn't help out at SS because those players simply aren't shortstops. lol

I'm hoping the Yanks have some kid from the minors in mind...
..some speedy kid with a good glove who can hit maybe .240 or so AND steal some 20 or more bases.
That'll do fine for now...with the hope of him improving down the road.
For crissakes, how many slick fielding speedy young shorstops are out there?
5,000? lmao
This shouldn't be too hard to locate.
Yanks have NO EXCUSE and should be humiliated if they don't have a kid that fits this profile.
How long did they expect Jeter to keep going? asswholes


Hey, didn't the Yanks sign a highly regarded international (latin america) ss..I think his name is Garcia?
Not sure of the name but the Yanks did sign a SS.
Lets see if we can find out... a little help?
