Cashman touches on assorted topics
-
- October
- 28
Brian Cashman said tonight that he has spoken with Joba Chamberlain about his DUI earlier this month. But he stopped short of saying whether Joba was punished by the team or enrolled in any sort of assistance program.
“I wouldn’t say other than the fact that I did talk to him,†Cashman said. “I’ll leave it at that. … He’s an employee of ours. The sensitivity of some of that stuff, I wouldn’t even get into. Not because of him, but for any of our employees. There’s a proper protocol. … He has our support and that’s defined in a number of different ways.â€
Cashman was brutally honest when asked whether he was confident that Chamberlain wouldn’t have another incident.
“I can’t say I’m confident about anything. I wouldn’t represent what goes on in other people’s lives,†Cashman said. “He knows we care a great deal about him. He knows he’s got all the support from us that we can provide because we do care about him. I don’t know what goes on in anybody’s personal life. But he’s part of our family.â€
Here’s Cash’s take on some other hot topics:
Will Mike Mussina retire? “He’s never said that to me but he’s communicated enough to people around him or expressed it through (the media) that it was a strong possibility. He’s not made a decision either way that I’m aware of. He may have made one, though. Moving forward he’s not part of our rotation because he’s a free agent. We don’t have him signed. … I’m not counting on him right now. I don’t know if he’s even interested in playing any more.â€
On the third-base coach situation: “It can come from within; it can come from outside the organization. (Manager Joe Girardi) and I have been talking a great deal about what direction we should go.” Cashman talked about the idea of moving Tony Pena or Rob Thomson to third and hiring somebody to fill their spots.”
Jorge Posada: “He’s doing the rehab on his shoulder. His throwing program commences the first week of December.” Is Posada their catcher? “Yes. The plan is for Jorge Posada to be our catcher.”
Chien-Ming Wang: The Wanger was in NYC today getting his right foot checked out and got a clean bill of health. He threw a bullpen in Tampa on Monday. “He’s doing terrific,†Cashman said. “He was fine. He had no pain, no problem.â€
Free agents: Cashman talked in generalities about the Yankees needing starting pitching via trades or free agency. I tried to get him to say whether they would pick up the option on Damaso Marte. But he wasn’t biting.”
Cashman was at Foley’s NY on West 33rd Street to take part in a promotional event for MLB Front Office Manager, a video game from 2K Sports.
I’m not a gamer but the concept and graphics looked pretty cool. It’s like a fantasy team x 10. You build a team, you make all the moves a GM would make and you run through the season from the start of spring training. You even hire a staff and develop a scouting philosophy. At one point Hank Steinbrenner shows up with a cigarette and tells your plans to the other teams.
OK, that part I made up. It’s not that realistic.
If you’re interested in the game, check out the 2K Sports site.

so i guess we are definately going after 2 starters one way or another since cash at this point doesnt consider moose a part of the rotation
unless he decide to come back which is highly unlikely i think.
Glad Cashman admitted we need starting pitching, I didn’t even think he would be that specific.
I have a feeling the game might bomb. I will still try it out via rental when it comes out though.
“At one point Hank Steinbrenner shows up with a cigarette and tells your plans to the other teams.”
Now that’s funny.
That game sounds like a perfect stocking stuffer for about 75% of this blog.
As expected, talking to Cash is like talking to a philosopher he speaks in overtones and generalities we won’t know anything about our FA plans until Thanksgiving time.
The Game Sounds similar to Baseball Mogul, which btw is a cheap way to burn time.
“At one point Hank Steinbrenner shows up with a cigarette and tells your plans to the other teams.”
LMAO. At another point Theo Epstein outsmarts you and signs a few player out from underneath you.
I don’t know if this was covered in the last post, but, if the World Series start time will be at 8:37 p.m. tomorrow, then we don’t get to see the first half-hour because of Obama. He’s going to be on all of the networks starting at 8:30.
unless they move the game to F\X
i thought obama is 8pm
“You even hire a staff and develop a scouting philosophy. At one point Hank Steinbrenner shows up with a cigarette and tells your plans to the other teams.”
Hahahaha

lol
“At one point Hank Steinbrenner shows up with a cigarette and tells your plans to the other teams”
lmao.
between checkin NYY games, and MLB 2009 the Show, prolly woudn’t have time for additional baseball. It is positive, to see this 2k2 title in development, tho
blimpie Ah, you are correct sir. Was watching Olberman tonight seems his show on wednesday only going to be half hour long. I got my halfs confused.
disregard my two prev. posts
“Al from BK( Fit CC for pinstripes. This team is not far off.)
October 28th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

that would be too much of a sim, for my liking
: )
“I don’t know if this was covered in the last post, but, if the World Series start time will be at 8:37 p.m. tomorrow, then we don’t get to see the first half-hour because of Obama. He’s going to be on all of the networks starting at 8:30.”
The network should keep their stupid politics out of my sports. As if this game wasn’t delayed enough, I hope the Phillies can get to Price so this terrible series can end already.
omg, i can’t wait for that game to come out… but i’m not going to lie, i’m curious to play at the New Yankee stadium
“The network should keep their stupid politics out of my sports. As if this game wasn’t delayed enough, I hope the Phillies can get to Price so this terrible series can end already.”
LOL. That’s messed up.
Al,
Balfour will the take the ball since he was already in the game.
Cashmans remarks about Mussina are prolly the only surprise out of that interview. One, its a surprise that he actually said something that wasnt completely obvious in the off season. Two, it sounds like even if Moose returns to the MLB, it may not be with the yanks which i asummed would be a given considering how interested the yanks are in pettitte re-signing. I like the logic though- i wouldnt count on either one of them returning to make the final decision regarding free agent targets. I just wish there was another pitcher out there besides CC that wasnt either a significant risk and/ or a potential disaster. Maybe cash can find one via trade but I cant imagine how useful a trade would be without including Joba, Hughes or AJax in the mix. I dont know how much our other prospects could get back in value. It seems like outside of CC, Burnett and Webb are the best bets which is disconcerting considering the laundry list those two could write on injury history. I dont want that game for christmas – i want CC Sabathia and Jake Peavy gift wrapped and sent to the Bronx.
“Al,
Balfour will the take the ball since he was already in the game.”
Perhaps just to finish out the 6th.
““The network should keep their stupid politics out of my sports. As if this game wasn’t delayed enough, I hope the Phillies can get to Price so this terrible series can end already.â€
LOL. That’s messed up.”
Why is it messed up? The most important game of the entire year that has already been delayed 3 days should NOT be delayed a minute more. Especially not to push a political agenda that I couldn’t care less about. Paying to interrupt a world series game is unnecessary and ridiculous.
look @ this
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10282008/sports/moresports/phillies_win_game_5__135737.htm
It can’t be expected that Cashman will talk about anything except in general terms.
He’s always been stealth and never really tips his hand.
Why tell your opponents your plans in specifics and give them chances to counter move ?
The organizational meetings in Tampa 2 weeks ago set the direction. It’s too early to put those plans in place.
As a fan, it’s better off to be caught off guard and then . . . . WHAMO ! . . . a blockbuster to dwell on for several days.
I don’t have a problem with what Obama’s doing. I was wrong with my time so the WS will not be preempted.
Wow that new game does sound pretty cool. I don’t play The Show but sometimes I stick my head in when one of my friends is playing and force them to make this trade or that trade…so this one sounds right up my alley, I’ll check it out.
Anyway I’m glad to hear Cash mentioned moving Thomson or Pena to 3rd & then filling their spots from outside. I would love to see Thomson at 3rd, Pena as the bench coach and Tino brought in for 1st. I know that isnt what Cash meant or was talking about but anyone think theres a chance of this happening?
Al from BK
I meant the delay/political intervention/network was messed up and I agreed with your post, not that your post was messed up!
i been spending way tooooo much time on my ps3. lol. would this lineup work?
Spilborghs LF
Jeter SS
Teixiera 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Posada C
Cano 2B
Nady RF
Gardner CF
Lebron James future Knickerbocker.
it look like Detroit will attempt to trade Magglio.

anyway, i’ll have to visit the library this wk and check out Baseball Prospectus. Don’t know who Spilborghs is.
“Al from BK

Oh sorry man. I misunderstood you. I’ve just never seen a postseason series managed this poorly ever.

Put down the controller! lol but seriously Spilborghs could play center. Where did you trade Damon and what did you get back?
Vinny -
the library has the Baseball Prospectus? lol
Al -
I traded Spilborghs for Damon. lol
Nets stink he ain’t going there. Besides that Brooklyn thing ain’t happening.
But your more then welcome to watch him in a Knicks uni.
Spilborghs has a great beard. I’d hate to see him lose it.
Trevor:
it don’t really matter to me. Phoenix & Indiana, have always been my teams
I like LeBron, tho
“Al –
I traded Spilborghs for Damon. lol”
Colorado would never do that. Nice PS3 trade though lol. In an earlier thread today we were all discussing Damon to the White Sox because Heyman mentioned it with Mike on WFAN. I was saying if we could get a good reliever like Thornton and/or Javier Vazquez we should do it. Javy was bad his first time around but he would make a decent 4-5 pitcher now that he is used to the AL.
Tom -
Spilborghs kills lefties, and zero errors in LF according to baseball reference if I read it correctly. He would be a good addition to the team.
Nets stink he ain’t going there. Besides that Brooklyn thing ain’t happening.
But your more then welcome to watch him in a Knicks uni.
——————————————-
As a Knicks fan I can tell you believe everything Donnie Walsh and Mr.Pringletoni saids , the harsh reality is David Lee is not returning next season, you don’t have a PG, a stable big man or a stable system, the Nets right now have the better ownership, the better system, the players to recruit James. VC is one of his closest friends, Devin Harris LeBron James said himself he’d love to play on a team w/ him. Jay-Z is like his brother, LeBron is not going to a situation which hasn’t even begun to rebuild, he likely goes to a contender. Contender meaning not the Knicks.
Al -
Damon for Vazquez? Ugh. If it does happen, the fans isn’t going to be too happy about it. He choke in games when it matters. See the month of September and the 2 playoff games.
Ed, I’m aware of Spilborghs. His splits, both lefties v righties and Home V away are very solid.
I guess if he were cheap, he’d be a good get.
“Ed, I’m aware of Spilborghs. His splits, both lefties v righties and Home V away are very solid.
I guess if he were cheap, he’d be a good get.”
Kennedy for Spilborghs, would the Rockies GM budge? hmm…
The whole deal with James going to the Nets is depending on if they where going to Brooklyn. Lebron James isn’t playing his home games in Newark with a team/franchise who is pretty much nondescript.
I understand the pesstimistic side in you Brandon as a Knick fan. Most Knick fans don’t think anything positive will happen anytime soon. But I have a different view.
“Al –
Damon for Vazquez? Ugh. If it does happen, the fans isn’t going to be too happy about it. He choke in games when it matters. See the month of September and the 2 playoff games.”
Yeah I know he was bad when he was here. However we would not be depending on him for any playoff starts. He would only be brought here to eat innings and now that he has gotten a feel for the AL I think he can at least do that. Also if we could get them to throw in Thornton it would add a quality lefty to our pen. Just food for thought it would also help alleviate the log jam at DH.
I didn’t see that GM was coming out for PS2. If it did I might rent it to give it a try.
Moose will probably retire. Although he never got a ring, he went out on a personal high note, and was one of the Yankees bright spots this season. I think it can only go downhill for Moose from here.
between MLB 2009, Far Cry 2, and GTA IV downloadable content on the way, may finally have a reason to pick-up a ps3
““Ed, I’m aware of Spilborghs. His splits, both lefties v righties and Home V away are very solid.

No Ed. Spilborghs is a quality player it would take more than IPK but not Hughes obviously a deal somewhere in between there.
does any body here have a PS3? I just bought a Wii which is the first system I’ve had since I sold my Xbox 360 on ebay for 600 bucks.

——————————-
LOL LeBron never said that, that’s what people believe and if they go to Newark trust me drawing fans won’t be a problem. He’s not going to choose the Knicks just because they play in MSG if you think that then you don’t know him at all, LeBron wants to go to a team where he has help, what help does NY have for him who ?
What’s drawing him here, it’s like saying hey you want to play on an expansion team in NY he’s going to have many offers not just NJ, BOS, ORL, MIA, LAL don’t come w/ the because it’s NY arguement that won’t matter.
Vazquez was not supposed to be depended on for the postseason in ‘04 either, yet he made a bad situation worse when he came in in game 7. That is a memory I have no interest in reliving every time he is on the mound putting balls on a tee for the other team. He has gotten less and less relevant as a viable pitcher every year since ‘04.
“I don’t know if this was covered in the last post, but, if the World Series start time will be at 8:37 p.m. tomorrow, then we don’t get to see the first half-hour”
The game will be shown in it’s entirety beginning at 8:37. All we are missing is a pre-game show from 8-8:30 which is when Obama’s program will air. (And besides Fox did not have to air the program – they chose to because they wanted the money.)
Tom -
I have both the PS3 and Wii.
Don’t blame Obama, blame Fox for letting him buy the time and blame commissioner TVWhore for agreeing to push the first pitch back to about 8:50 or so.
I was part of that Damon/Chisox discussion and suggested Thornton. Not sure bringing in Vasquez is wise. although I thought it was a huge mistake to turn on him so quickly his first time
“Spilborghs is a quality player it would take more than IPK but not Hughes obviously a deal somewhere in between there.”
——–
All Cashman have to do is getting the GM drunk next week. it’s Vegas, anything could happen. lol
Tom: I don’t own a next-gen system. Have been satisfied with the ps2/Xbox.
for myself, MLB 2009 will be a ps3 system seller. The development crew, have fully maxed out the ps2.
How’s the PS3 Ed?
They will re-name the IZOD Center, the House that LeBron built.
Trevor would I love LeBron well DUH ! who wouldn’t but it won’t matter they haven’t even begun to rebuild and they think hey lets sweet talk LeBron James w/ Wilson Chandler and Danillo Gallonari and hey if that doesn’t work show him ZBo and Curry, are you kidding me he’d run away and fast.he just watched Tim Duncan lift a trophy and Paul Pierce last season knock them out you think LeBron isn’t hungry to be on a team w/ actual help ? Your also forgetting Philly and Chicago believe it or not could become a huge player in this.

Now that’s funny.

_______________________________________________________
The real kicker to the game is that it lights up and flashes this message for 2/3rds of the posters: “You can’t seriously be this stupid, can you?”, after making a trade. After that the game self destructs.
86w183,
Love the Thornton idea. I would trade Damon for him straight up, unless you could get another prospect as well. The only thing is that we would not have a legit leadoff man.
If money doesn’t woo CC to NY, then I would take the next step— offer him the Clemens family plan on top of $160 mil. That way, he can go to Cali when he isin’t starting if he wants.
As long as he is there every 5th day throwing Complete Games, he can do whatever he wants on his non-pitching days.
Vinny, I actually won my now sold XBOX 360. I was tired of buying the same 4 sports games every year.
LeBron will end up on the Clippers. He gets to go to LA and compete in the same town as Kobe. They have a nice young core with Brand, Maggatte, Thorton, Erik Gordon, Kayman etc.
Tom -
Graphics wise, of course the 360 is better. I like the PS3 better because of better game play, free online (lol), and lots of memory space. I would prefer the PS3 over the 360.
“Love the Thornton idea. I would trade Damon for him straight up, unless you could get another prospect as well. The only thing is that we would not have a legit leadoff man.”
Mark- If Gardner could ever learn how to use a bat he could start in CF and lead off.
It’s not just about playing at MSG. It’s endorsements some think James wants to become the wealthiest athlete etc… He’s not going to Nets because he’s friends with Jay Z. Everyone associates Jay Z with Brooklyn and if there’s no Brooklyn with the Nets there’s no James.
And if he’s not with the Knicks he’ll probably just stay with Cleveland or perhaps go to Chicago.
Moose’s doctor told him in no uncertain terms that unless the Yankees engaged a new “Frightfielder” he would be unwise to re-sign. The periodic palpitations were found to have occurred each and every time a ball was hit to rightfield during this past season.
Watching this Cavs/Celtics game is so depressing.
When is that going to be the Knicks? When are we going to get our superstar and play meaningful games?
Are we the new Detroit Lions?

________________________________________________________
Spilsborghs isn’t even the starting center fielder on his own team and he’s almost 30 years old. Hes a fill-in #4 outfielder. He’s not a quality anything except a platoon outfielder.

Those Endorsement $ will play into James choosing where he wants to play. He’s said that his goal in life is to be a billionaire.
Al from BK,
Gardner would be the hope, but he is not a legit leadoff threat now. One option could be(if Damon is traded) to bat Jeter leadoff and Gardner 9th. That way the better hitters get the extra ABs, but Gardner is basically the leadoff man in all but the first inning.
LeBron isin’t coming here.
However, we will get Steve Nash when his contract runs out. He will be pretty much past his prime or close to it in a couple of years, but he can still help.
Good point GB. He (Spilborghs) reminds me of Jason Michaels. Highly effective with 200-300 at bats. Not so much after that.
I hate the Celtics

And he also said he wants to win an NBA championship.
This is who Brett Gardner should try to emulate:

If Gardner could ever become a major league hitter he would help this team immensely. The guy had 13 SB’s in 14 attempts and he was only on base 37 times.

If he can’t beat out Willie Taveras for the starting job, he’s nothing special, then.
Labron who?
GB & TOM- You guys are right Spilborghs is effective in doses but not really an everyday guy. I guess I’m reaching for CF options because Gardner looked so bad at the plate.
Come on already I want to see Greg Oden and the Portland Blazers whoop on the Lakers !
We just have to package Chandler, Robinsion, Curry, and Mardy Collins to try and get a Garnett-type. Rebuild on the fly like Boston did.
Oden already impacting this game and I missed it because of Celtics/Cavs
They can’t keep wasting their draft picks on busts like Gallinari and Channing Frye.
You find Euros through good scouting late in the draft or via FA, like Scola, Ginobli, Juan Carlos Navarro, etc.
You don’t take them high in the drafts like we did Gallinari, most of them are busts like Darko. Should have drafted Brook Lopez, Bayless, or someone like that.
OH what a cheap act by Fisher !
“We just have to package Chandler, Robinsion, Curry, and Mardy Collins to try and get a Garnett-type. Rebuild on the fly like Boston did.”
The Knicks are beyond a “quick fix” they need a few years to deelop a decent franchise and rehab their image. As a Knicks fan I am willing to wait for a quality team.
Al can they start by actually releasing the dead weight instead of keeping it for future trades that raise the cap ? I want the rebuilding but when does it actually begin ?
BTW pay attention to this Rudy Fernandez kid
If I were the Knicks I would stink again this year just for a chance to win the lottery.
I’m still amazed how the Bulls won the lottery when they was slotted at 8th or 9th? Knicks have been picking there for years and never won the lottery.

understand, Tom. Titles on the new consoles, have been kinda lean, until recent months. It is beginning to pick-up:
GTA IV, MGS 4, Saints Row 2, Far Cry 2, Killzone 2 (future release) to name a few
“Al can they start by actually releasing the dead weight instead of keeping it for future trades that raise the cap ? I want the rebuilding but when does it actually begin ?”
Believe me Brandon nobody was more upset about Ewing Jr. than I was. They needed to cut Jerome James and Marbury they didn’t do either perhaps they just want to let these terrible contracts die off or use them at the trade deadline. I have faith that Pringles will only start those who deserve to play.
What about Andy? Did Cash say anything on Pettitte….Pete?
Farmar’s coming in.
I just bought a new computer with Vista.
Now this http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/biztech/10/28/microsoft.windows.ap/?iref=hpmostpop
I hope Curry leaves soon. I hope he just opts out of his contract. Crawford too.
I can’t stand when people defend those two especially Chuckford the one player who hasn’t found a shot that doesn’t look good to him.
Channing Frye eversince Nate tackled his leg has played softer than a Charmins tissue paper.
“I hope Curry leaves soon. I hope he just opts out of his contract. Crawford too.”
Curry is too “flickin” soft. he seriously needs to man up.
“Curry is too “flickin†soft. he seriously needs to man up.”
That’s what the pizza slice said to him.
“Rebuild on the fly like Boston did.”
You just need one of your ex-players to become GM of another team, like McHale. Then said GM gives away his franchise player back to his old team, now featuring his ex-teammate/buddy as team president, for next to nothing. Instant contender!
“I can’t stand when people defend those two especially Chuckford the one player who hasn’t found a shot that doesn’t look good to him.”
I think the reason why Crawford has been such a chuck is because he has never had a coach who disciplined him or ran a real offense. He mostly went free style because Isiah had no idea how to draw up a play or lead his team for that matter. I suspect the offense this year to be very Chandler/Lee/Z-bo centric which I can live with Curry and Craw’s days are numbered.
“That’s what the pizza slice said to him.”
lol…..
Any thought on this?:
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/10/brewers-willing.html
Interesting blurb: “The article’s authors do not see the Yankees as suitors for Fielder, due to his defense and the team’s long-term desire to move Derek Jeter to first base after the 2010 season.”
“You just need one of your ex-players to become GM of another team, like McHale. Then said GM gives away his franchise player back to his old team, now featuring his ex-teammate/buddy as team president, for next to nothing. Instant contender!”
In fairness to McHale Al Jefferson has become a franchise center. KG was great but that team was going nowhere and everybody knew it.
Still, too much of a coincidence that Garnett ended up in Boston. No one else was interested? Yeah …
could someone tell me why Daniel Gibson of the Cavs has a Batman logo on his head? supporting Batman Begins 3? IDK.
Al there was only one guy I saw get to Chucky and that was Larry Brown.
I guess I am old fashioned. It seems that you would rarely see Magic or Larry Bird miss foul shots in key situations.
I saw Pierce and Garnett miss more free throws then they should tonight.
Plus LaBron was 2 for 6 in free throws in the fourth quarter of a very close game.
Gibson on hair-do: “It’s Halloween. It’s that time of year, so I thought I’d do something different.â€

Marbury should start at SG over Crawful
The Celtics aren’t the only team to get “sweetheart” deals.
The Lakers picked up Gasol for what many would consider next to nothing.
Hey, ray.
The Cavs had you going for a bit there.
Didn’t see the game. How did it go? Is it still a matter of LeBron not having enough around him?
And what’s with Pierce. Did anyone tell him the finals are over? He had a great line tonight.
ray,
Shush. Marc Gasol’s going to be good.
And Kwame Brown’s a key part of the Pistons now.
Sorry. Can’t even type that with a straight face.
I don’t post on RealGM but that site has gone stupid w/ trade proposals Al Harrington just asked to be traded stating he can’t play for Don Nelson anymore. There is no way Mullin is taking quitters back for that guy. That board is trying to pawn off ZBo or Curry or Chuckford to GS
“Marbury should start at SG over Crawful”
Marbury shouldn’t even be here.
ray,
Back up the truck, that Pau Gasol trade is still a bit of a sore spot with some of us around Mempho.
But it looks like the Grizz could be a wee bit better this season.
“There is no way Mullin is taking quitters back for that guy. That board is trying to pawn off ZBo or Curry or Chuckford to GS”
If they would take Curry I would drive him to the airport.
“Sorry. Can’t even type that with a straight face.”
Well mel, I will grant you this….you honest and have integrity!!!
I will be the first to admit that the Cavs gave Boston a big challenge. Cavs were actually ahead most of the game.
Celtics started out really cold, and it was Pierce who kept them within striking distance.
In my opinion if the Cavs had just one more very good player (wouldn’t have to be LaBron like but still very good) I think they would definitely challenge for the whole thing.
Even as the Cavs are right now I think they are capable of contending for the title.
ray,
Teams always play flat on ring ceremony days.
Guy from real gm was on our local radio and said, “You heard it hear first. The Orlando Magic will be the surprise of the East. They’ll win 55-60.” I thought that was kind of interesting.
Chuck to Kenny, “I was reading yo mind in the first grade.”
Classic Charles.

Mr. Abraham doesn’t realize there’s absolutely no media on the Front Office video game online! WHERE’S YOUR CELL PHONE CAMERA!
ray,
Yes, I did. I made a point to because I didn’t want to get sick from eating an Ellsbury taco last year.
I got my free Taco suprisingly the line wasn’t as big downtown some people forgot it was fromw 2 – 6 PM
BTW- For all those who are interested, the company behind the game developed MVP Baseball series, as well as The Bigs. Genius developers. I can almost guarantee high quality stuff here.
It isin’t supposed to snow before Halloween
“Yes, I did. I made a point to because I didn’t want to get sick from eating an Ellsbury taco last year.”
Interesting. That Ellsbury taco I had last year was indeed one of the finest tacos I have ever eaten!!!!!
OK already NBA Live I’ll buy it just stop playing that damn commercial !!!
“If money doesn’t woo CC to NY, then I would take the next step—- offer him the Clemens family plan on top of $160 mil”
And if that doesn’t work, offer him the Clemens family.
I thought Pete said free-agency was all about offering the biggest bag of money?
Why is everyone talking like CC is a lost cause?
Anyhoo….I’m just glad all this crazy talk about Lowe is going away.
Punch back ROY !
I’ll be shocked if Mussina retires coming off 20 wins and one of his best seasons in years. All these whispers about him wanting to “spend time with his children” is just creating leverage.
Even if there were some truth to it, I’ll bet having spent the month of October driving his kids to endless fall baseball, soccer, flag football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, etc., etc., he’s probably dying for Spring Training to start. I know I am.
Cash needs to hold the line firmly at one-year, though. It’s no accident that Mussina’s two best recent seasons came in walk years.
Bayless is in BTW
Ariza and Frye getting chippy. Former teammates
Randy Levine was on Capital Hill today
The NBA has 5 games scheduled on Christmas Day this year? what the hell?
This will be kind of neat. As long as they get rid of the lone star.
