“Itâ€™s all water under the bridge now, but there were rumors earlier in the winter, that Bonderman could be had ”

if the Tigers wanted to trade Bonderman, why would they have given him a very lucrative extention this very offseason??

i wouldn’t put much stock in internet rumors.

put stock in actions that happened in real life, and the Tigers expressed exactly how they feel about Bonderman with their checkbook.

“he looks out of shape and lacking in confidence. ”

you are absolutely the only person anywhere who has implied that Pavano is out of shape. every single report has said that Pavano worked his @ss off all winter and game into camp in GREAT shape.

look, we know you don’t like the guy. not many of us do.

but don’t make sh*t up. it undermines your credibility.

If last year did not inspire you, watching the kids and newcomers like Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu scratch and gut out wins, thhen I don’t know why you would bother watching the games.

These guys came together so nicely last year, and I consider the 2006 season a success because a new nucleus is coming together. Cabrera, Cano, Wang. I’m thrilled.

This will be exciting, to see what they have to put together throughout the year to address the inevitable injuries that will come up. I’m super interested to see what Karstens and Rasner can do. Ditto Sanchez, when he’s ready. By the way, does anybody know his latest status after the injury? He was listed as being the most ML-ready of all the pitching prospects they have.

It sounds banal and maybe glib, but remember, it’s about having fun.

Kasey,

Don’t be depressed! It’s just a game. It’s not the end of the world. Why people have to take these things that serious? Overall they have nothing to do with our lives! You are being to negative and that’s not a good thing! Just relax!

I read that the Tigers wouldn’t trade Bonderman in any reasonable package for Sheff.

I can’t understand why anyone would freak out over this. The Yankees will score enough runs to compensate for Wang missing a few starts.

It’s all water under the bridge now, but there were rumors earlier in the winter, that Bonderman could be had – for the right price. It makes me wonder if the Yanks could’ve acquired him by shipping another prospect (Karstens, Rasner, or Clippard) along with Sheff.

it doesn’t make sense to put too much into spring numbers. is pavano healthy? how good will he be? if you do pay a lot of attention to spring numbers, then you gotta like rasner as well as karstens. it is good to see the yanks have a set of young arms that might produce one or two good ones as the year unfolds.

i hated to see sheff go– but if one or two decent arms comes outta that– ok. i am still mourning bernie– it’s just not right to see the yank who ranks only after ruth, gehrig, dimaggio and mantle let go this way. what a class guy…

kasey,

Pavagranate has been mediocre to ‘whew’ at best this spring, but not so terrible that you can’t expect a decent four innings out of him the first couple of starts until Wang gets back, so “stinks” is a little harsh. That said, thank goodness for a deep bullpen, and the Yanks have had a recent bad start in April that they eventually overcame, so I wouldn’t get worked up about this. Taken as a whole, the lineup and bullpen can mask even Pavalive’s deficiencies for the time being…
