Comments on: Still plenty of players to choose from http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/01/31/still-plenty-of-players-to-choose-from/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:56:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: gayle http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2009/01/31/still-plenty-of-players-to-choose-from/comment-page-7/#comment-653102 gayle Sun, 01 Feb 2009 05:11:37 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/?p=6514#comment-653102 Here is the original story about the Torre book in November of 2007. Yes it does appear that in order for this announcement to be made at this time that the process ofverducci nd Torre talking about it had to have happened prior to this. I always thought that Verducci is an excellent writer but I also thought that because of his past relationship with T&orre on his previous book that his take on the Torre andthe Yankees was somewhat Torre biased http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3100641 Here is the original story about the Torre book in November of 2007.

The Celtics hadn't done to well till Ainge took over. Took him time to clean up the mess Pitino left. Also hurt them when Bias and Lewis died. You have some hope now. I seems they are starting to play better. Brandon

Just because of the draft picks? ------------------------------------------------------------ I'm quite sure that is a major issue...giving up the team's first pick for a middle-8th inning relief pitcher. The walks are probably a little scary, too. Not sure what he's asking, but, I'd assume that 3 years and 3-3.5 mil a year would be close. MaineYankee

I'm a Knicks fan. I watch the Nets because it's escape from overrated basketball. The Nets atleast have a system and a plan, on the other side seriously Danilo Gallanari... first off luck to Andrew Bynum because Kobe may have ended his season tonight. When your a Knicks fan you realize the stupidity of the organization, passing up on Amare Stoudamire, trading the #1 overall which could have been Tyrus Thomas, passing up on Andrew Bynum and now Brooke Lopez.... Only the Knicks. “Brandon
