there is every reason to believe that early on in arods tenure, if their relationship was actually strained that any helpful advice to arod from jeter or public statement form jeter about arod may have been taken wrongly by arod and absolutely by media. in that particular scenario saying nothing is likely the best alternative.

while listening to the kellerman and kenny show on espn radio today max gave the 08 stats for david robertson and he is off the charts. I think he is in AAA right now and is flying through the system. The trade deadline should be an interesting one with our pitching prospect depth and need of a quality frontline pitcher. I know this topic is beaten to death on a daily basis but what are the odds some of these kids get called up soon to showcase their stuff? also does anyone know anything about this robertson kid?

people have been saying its him or gardner. and that cashman really wanted to develop gardner more. although i agree that we could also platoon gardner against lefties. still he could replace christian after a bit more work. I like this

“Patrick: I know Sheets is good. Really good. Itâ€™s just, after Pavano, color me over cautious”

Rebecca:

Really unfair comparison. Sheets has had a history of being a 220-230 inning workhorse, and even as injuries befell him, he did pitch 400+ innings over the past three seasons and is on pace for 225 this year. Pavano has thrown 110 since the end of the 2004 season and is on pace for the giant goose egg this year.

Where did this whole Christian idea come from? Was there some kind of news that this guy was being considered? Up until today, I hadnâ€™t heard a peep about him.

Move makes sense :

Last Ten For Christian :

BA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI W K S CS
Totals .429 42 12 18 4 0 1 7 3 3 7 0

Season :

.309 191 35 59 14 1 4 39 87 15 26 18 3

He is a speed guy, a righty, and acts as a 4th OF if Hideki’s knee is still balky.

I’m not upset with the Christian move- he’s playing pretty well, is hot and has been a lifelong Yankee minor leaguer who probably deserves a little love. But I still don’t get this “Gardner needs to play every day” idea. Gardner could easily platton against lefties (even though Gardner bats left, he hits lefties pretty well) and given the number of lefties we face, that’s a lot of playing time.

But I don’t mean to complain- calling up Christian is a step in the right direction.

Moeller is worthless at this point. We have a healthy Molina now and as bad as Chris Stewart was in his first game, he really isn’t terrible. Stewart is actually a very good defensive catcher.
