True New Yorkers are Mets Fans

[RustySpan]

What's the problem? he's trying to win over Mets fans, and he was a hated Yankee last year, so he's doing what he has to do, no big deal.

...what the hell does salary have to do with it?...we're comparing players, not money....Jesus, stay on topic or let it go.

you quoted stats...and I said...for the money he is receiving..i want and expect 2011 stats ....otherwise I would take Grandy back and use the 6 million since salary has nothing to do with anything and spend it on Cano where 2b is hard to find players with his stats...

so ...in essense...

Id rather have Beltran, Cano and Grandy over Ellsbury Beltran and...player x
and before you even go there..

yes if given a choice id do the 10 year deal for a 2b man with the type of numbers Cano has put up over a 7 year deal for a guy who has had one MVP type season and one very good season who's primary resource is his running ability which will not last 5 years down the road never mind 7

...Jesus tap dancing Christ, the Cano deal has nothing to do with signing Elsbury or comparing Elsbury to Granderson...like I said, earlier, if you cannot stay on topic without drifting off on an entirely different tangent, just let it go.

...If he truly wants to win over Mets fans he'd be better served by using his bat instead of his mouth.

The problem is Grandy'd a good guy. Cano is going to go to Seattle and say how much he loved playing there before signing

 

[yankeesince59]

...yup, he's always been a class act...and that's why his comments caught me off guard.

My last post was half deleted by me by mistake.
I would continue to say that all these guys are like the scene in Bull Durham when Costner is teaching him how to answer reporters. They are all looking for the kiss ass sound bite. Grandy's a good guy, Cano is ok, but they all are going to say the political correct thing for the moment, that is why Rosenthal was about to barf over the original JZ on MLB today. After a while it gets sickening. Vtte said it best earlier about Granderson, great comment, and you want to talk about a bad contract, 60 million for 150-200 K's and no lineup protection, and Citi Field, he got paid for the past, just like so many of them.

Grandy is a very good guy. He did some good things with the Yankees but the strikeouts became ridiculous.

Did you see Rosenthal to his left, just like almost roll his eyes. And lets suppose You, Rick, Hammer, Vette, Yank55, Blue, Big Al, Messiah, Mm, and everyone that I have left off all worked for me but after leaving all went on the record complaining about my outstanding leadership skills, no one goes that far out of the way and on record unless it's true.

you'd be a great boss... =)
