why is a 25 yr old kid like Jhalan Jackson taking up roster space in the Minors. Went from AA-Trenton with 129 SO's in 289 At Bats. Is then sent down to A- Staten Island, with 2 SO's in 3 AB's....Hit .190 in Trenton, but HEY with 3 AB's 2 SO's he's batting .333 Bronx here I come on the Crapuano express, .... Not...!!!

It's nice to beat the Blue Jays in the first game. However, with a win we always look at the standings for a Boston loss which doesn't happen that often these days.

Some Staff Writer at River Avenue Blues prompted an idea that the Yankees should sign Machado, move Andujar to First Base. May not be a bad idea, Bird has not been much of a contributor this season.

Defensively, he is capable.
