Damon Jeter Bonds ARod Giambi Abreu Cano Cabrera Molina That's one hell of a line-up. Sexson can fill in at DH/1B. Giambi can relieve Bonds at DH if needed. I just don't understand why people aren't interested in a guy who had an On-base percentage of almost .500 and an OPS over 1.000 last year.

Damon
Jeter
Bonds
ARod
Giambi
Abreu
Cano
Cabrera
Molina

That’s one hell of a line-up. Sexson can fill in at DH/1B. Giambi can relieve Bonds at DH if needed. I just don’t understand why people aren’t interested in a guy who had an On-base percentage of almost .500 and an OPS over 1.000 last year.

Then Meachum starts thinking too hard and holds up every runner after watching Mollasses Molina lumber along. I realize Posada isn't much quicker... but my God...!

Seems like a nice deal as the yanks will be able to replenish the farm with quite a few compensatory picks next year Bradley as an impending free agent could re-sign but hed be a Type A FA so the picks would be nice.

I know Kyle cant be trusted but I like our bullpen. I heard it was 6th in ERA during tonights game. Honestly once Bruney returns and possibly Melancon gets called up what is wrong with our bullpen.
