Josh Beckett was a SCRUB last year! because he suckedi n 06!) then yes, Morgan Ensberg is a scrub. Morgan Ensberg = 1 allstar, 1 silver slugger, MVP voting 4th place finish

Sean Casey= 3 time all star. best finish in MVP = 14th (once)

Mark my words Ian Kennedy or Horne will be traded this or next year. BronxBomber77-

When HGH Pettitte has a bad year after all this steroid stuff you will be either asking for a trade or saying Ian Kennedy might not be Santana after all.

Mark my words Ian Kennedy or Horne will be traded this or next year.

If he can really develop that pitch and maybe get his velocity back up a few ticks to 93-94 consistently he's going to be a beast this year and imo will justify holding on to him no doubt.

I hope I'm wrong, but I would not be shocked if Farnsey's fastball is down to 92-993 mph - with the same (lack of) control. that would be disastrous for the Yankees. “Kyle Farnsworth looks far less bulky”.

The Yanks didn't need him. As for retiring numbers...the Yanks need to set a rule RIGHT NOW...no more retired numbers until the player is inducted into the Hall of Fame. The amount of retired numbers has reached its saturation point. Casey’s a great clubhouse guy, adequate first baseman, and has no power. The Yanks didn’t need him.
