He showed some flashes last year, mainly in long relief if I recall, but the man is probably a good, American pitching coach away from being a quality starter. By all accounts I've heard, Eiland's the man, so let's see what he can pitch. It was easy to dislike Igawa after Pavano, I’d suggest, but they’re two players.

Some great pix of Yankee lore, and definitely what I need on a cold day in February.

He has a good arm except for his lack of it. Talk about guys showing up in shape ... I like that Giambi is apparently in shape. Could mean a solid year from him. I hope we have that to look forward to. It would bug me, however, that it took him most of his contract to get back in top shape ...just as he`s about to become a FA. If he goes .315BA/.425OBP/44HR/135RBI, do you sign him to an extension? Even with club options for motivation? Considering the past 3-4 years track record, it`d be tough to endorse it ...

Unlike Mr Populartiy, Carl Pavano. At least Igawa seems to be working hard and trying.

He had a rough year, but did what was asked of him in terms of going to minors, working, and didn't raise a fuss in the media. And now he's working hard again. In contrast to some.

Talk about harder than game conditions ... Yes, I`m just kidding.
