Well, now I’ve done some research, for 2 tickets to the Mohegan Sports Bar, for various dates, including day games, and either they haven’t opened these up for sale to the general public yet, or they’re already sold out. Or maybe you need to buy a minimum of 4 tickets. At any rate, I couldn’t really tell what the cost of these tickets would by anyway – it looked like $375 each (list), but I’m not sure.

RussW210 -

I just did some research on Yankees.com. The centerfield restaurant is the Mohegan Sun Sports Bar, which is one of two membership only clubs. They did say you could purchase individual game tickets for entry into this spot. I haven’t researched that yet.

Pete, Thanks for the update on Joba’s velocity (even if I was foolish to ask!)

Cashman wants to see what becomes available as teams are paring their rosters before deciding on the utility infielder to start the season.
Berroa is not the answer and it wouldn’t hurt Pena to have at bats at AA or AAA.
Cashman may have Jeff Keppinger of Cincy in mind.

gayle, I think the guy is a loose cannon. (Back to Sheff) Unfortunately he never learned to shut his mouth. I agree with your assessment, by the way. Again, the guy burned a hell of a lot of bridges.

Pete, Thanks for the Joba update.

I’ll be awaiting to hear about a huge slap on the wrist.

“Giving Marte 3 yrs/$12 million (at age 34) when all he had to do was pick up the $6 million dollar option for 1 year, was one of the worst decisions that Cashman has made.”

if that is one of the worst decisions that he has made, he must be doing a FANTASTIC job.

b/c in the grand scheme of things, it’s really not a big deal.

at all.

“There are quite a few that could be moved around, just for the experience. Mainly what the Tampa people need to do is hire more minor league coaches to teach correct fundamentals.”

————–

hate to say it but it seems like the Red Sox do a pretty good job at this. Yanks, as you’ve said, just need to pay more attention to it.

“Defense in the minor league system needs some serious corrections at all levels”

you can say that again. I’m not sure if you’re the one who brought this up but it would also be nice to see guys prepped for position flexibility, though I guess they should master a primary spot first since they’re having issues with just that.
