maybe pete needs to restore some order when he gets back from vaca. it’s not the arguing just the minutia. detail after detail. who is the smartest yankee fan? that’s what we need, a poll. Who is the smartest??? Hmmmmmm…

Marc,

I have to agree with you man. Back in the day me and my boys
had a few hot dogs during the game and we did just fine. No need to make it sound like Scientific Digest in here. This is supposed to be fun!

With regards to Santana the never ending Hughes – Buchholz debate (their both really good – clay’s more polished, hughes is two years younger) may be mute.

The twins seemed focused on position players. Jason Stark today said they’re considering trading Matt Garza for position players.

If that’s the case it says a lot about what they think of their young pitching.

If the twins are focused on position players then its going to be very difficult for any team in baseball to match the package the dodgers could put together. Perhaps the rockies or diamondbacks but if the dodgers make up their mind to get Santana, they have a great deal of position player talent and Clayton Kershaw to boot.

Why are some of you so hung up on this over-analysis of ballplayers? When did this all begin. Do you really think these scientific breakdowns define a player? How did we survive the past?

Umm, Tabata was a bit out of shape this year. He even mentioned it himself in his journal that he does.
