Tomorrow: On-location live video chat
Have questions about the Yankees? Of course you do.
I’m not entirely sure how it works, but we’ve managed to set up a live video chat tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET. I’ll be on the LoHud Yankees Blog Mogulus channel from the General Manager Meetings. This is a bit of an experiment, seeing if we can do live chats on location.
So tune in tomorrow at 11 a.m., bring some questions and I’ll do my best to answer them.





lol good luk wit that
Pete the times on the blog of your updates arent set back the hour they should be
11am NY time or LA time?
Any special guests? Hey if CC is there pull him on the blog. So he can know that NY fans want him here.
Iverson to detroit
Billups to denver
kay has signed a multi-year extension with the network to remain its lead……………. the first stupid move in this off season by the yanks
Ugh. Just wasted 4 minutes of my life that I can’t have back.
Guys, you all may enjoy the new Biz LeBron/Nicole Scherzinger Nike promo.
Vinny-b,
That’s the rumor, you got something definitive?
hurumph…
“So tune in tomorrow at 11 a.m.”
NY or LA time?
mel – I just heard the same thing on WEEI.
Teix is gonna get paid Baltimore and now Washington is set to break the bank on him, that’s right whatever it takes was the word in Baltimore through a few of thier fans.
So Was, Balt, NY*, BOS…How is he not going to get $25 MIL I’d say he is well on his well to get just not from us.
Mel, it’s true.
The Nuggets and Pistons have agreed in principle on a trade that would send Allen Iverson to Detroit and Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb to Denver, sources have told ESPN.
The deal has not been finalized.
Trisha,
Yes. ESPN said they’re waiting to finalize the deal Dice & Chauncey for AI.
Poor Chauncey.
Shucks. Now the Nuggets will actually start playing some defense.
Brandon,
I could *live* with CC, Burnett, and a lesser 1B.
“Teix is gonna get paid Baltimore and now Washington is set to break the bank on him”
I guess the Nationals are sick of Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young already.
mel, I know little to nothing about basketball but the EEI guys couldn’t understand the deal and said they didn’t see how it made Detroit a better team. They also said they couldn’t understand how trading someone like Billips helped the team and that he was solid, stable, etc.
From what you know of the players involved, does that track with your thinking?
Ed,
LOL. Just figured out how to bold. By accident.
Will the live chat be at 11:00 Eastern, 11:00 Pacific time, or in this netherworld forward one hour blog time?
What ! A.I. ? when ! He’s my favorite SG sin the NBA ..what happened when ? why ?
Mel,
LOL yeah I saw. this is starting to become very strange.
“I guess the Nationals are sick of Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young already.”
They can’t be serious all rumors have the mid price at $150 MIL so IDK but the word is Bowden is gonna spend some dough on him or Adam Dunn if your Bowden Adam Dunn is the safer choice but what a way to make your joke of a roster matter in Baltimore.
Me too!
trisha,
If AI’s the A-rod of basketball, then Billup’s the Jeter of basketball.
Billups is not flashy, but a very, very solid player. Very professional.
Don’t know the years left on Billups, but the fact that they needed 2 good players + a throw in tells you how much AI was making.
Very, very good deal for the Nuggets. Billups and Dice add instant credibility.
Dice is a surprise, he was an important role player for the Pistons.
But the Pistons did say that no one was safe and that they were going to make changes because what they were doing wasn’t working.
Bold move IMO.
The Pistons think Stuckey is ready and Denver has always wanted a real PG. WOW A.I. to Detroit.
Well, not me too. I thought I had it figured out – (how to bold)
(This is for Glenn, from a few blogs ago!)
Uh – there is no big deal with the private jet. It got kind of off track because I mentioned that Cashman seems to be a real down-to-earth guy and doesn’t feel the need to play “look at me!†So I commented that I believed that Cashman woulnd’t be the kind who really gave a crap about what kind of transportation he took since he seems like he has more class than that – meaning that he doesn’t need to be treated like he’s Donald Trump.
I stand by that. But that somehow got twisted into the jet vs. no jet issue.
I just take it as an example of “he said she said†meaning that men and women seldom speak the same language to begin with, and older generations of men (no offense SJ44) likely speak a more foreign version than younger generations. There are always exceptions of course.
Sometimes I go with female speak – for obvious reasons – and end up having to break it down into a different language because men and women don’t necessary have the same filters.
*trisha, asterisks around text to be bolded.
“I guess the Nationals are sick of Nick Johnson and Dmitri Young already”
Ed: at one time, i honestly believed NJ would have a monument, beyond the left-field wall.
too bad, he had not remained healthy in his career, and with NYY
Brandon,
I’m guessing the Nats and the O’s wants to “become next year’s Rays”. If the Nats does infact landed Teix, they better be prepare to trade Zimmerman since he will start demanding some $$$ soon.
mel – check this out. When I went to “view source” this is how it showed up!
I could live with CC, Burnett, and a lesser 1B.
Mr. Big Shot, on his way to denver
mel – he he he.
okay. It had the word “strong” in brackets in front of the word “live” and then it had “/strong” in brackets after the word “live”.
*Go figure*
Ed can you imagine what SP prospect they would land for Ryan Zimmerman in a trade ? I don’t think this happens but a WOW move if it does.
Vinny B,
Brandon and I believed if NJ had stayed with the Yanks, he could have remained healthy. But who knows? Just blame the Mets for Nick’s broken leg. They caused a collision between him and Austin Kerns.
“Just blame the Mets for Nick’s broken leg”
works for me.
“Mr. Big Shot, on his way to denver”
I always thought he would retire a Piston, I mean you talk about great Big Shot PGs Chauncey Billups is it, and it’s funny that Mr.Magoo made him what he is.
John Heyman is predicting the Yankees sign Sabathia AND Burnett.
Doubtful.
Brandon,
Bowden obiviously wants some ML ready pitching prospects. I would say if has to start with Hughes and Marquez, and it goes from there.
I agree. Those are going to be the 2 big moves for NY this offseason. CC, AJ, Joba at the top.
Vinny,
Nick was going to be healthly all season long 2 years ago. He had a streak since Opening Day till the last week of the season. it was that collision that ended his streak of being healthly when the season was about to be over in a few days.
ESPN polls some GMs reactions to baseball hot topics. Some interesting votes.

update….
I can’t see the Yanks getting CC and Burnett. I think the media is over-hyping CC going for the dollars in the end. It is no lock and rest assured that more teams will be involved than we know right now.
I have never seen brought up here, politics, that is. But Bruce Springsteen, devout Yankee Fan and all-American, endorsing Obama, made me decide to write this comment.
Is one allowed to bring up politics here since tomorrow are the elections?
One issue: are Yankee fans really all Republican?
AJ’s health problems worry me. Derek Lowe?
Weird. Did we just time-travel (Hiro!)? This is old stuff, but at least the clock is reset.
Back to baseball. Cody Ransom showed some power at SWB, too. Are we in agreement? He opens with the club as the utility infielder?
