What a windbag this SJ guy is. Sorry dude I’m not fooled by your “insights”.

I have a sneaking suspicion that his hip is bothering him more than he lets on. He seems never to attempt the diving snare to his left (in the hole). I think his hip has slowed his reaction time on groundballs in the hole, and he won’t dive for them because he might aggravate the injury.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t be playing. I am saying that there is likely more going on with that hip injury than meets the eye. A-Rod is definitely slower in the field on certain plays than he used to be.

Was he a bonehead for keeping on the Steinbrothers about making an offer to Teixiera?

I believe the Yanks can and should keep Wang on the 25-man roster and send him to Tampa for some extended spring training work. As long as he doesn’t face outside competition I think that’s legal. They are basically a 22-man roster gith now (Wang, Berroa, Veras) so replacing Veras with Bruney and sending Wang out for work would still be a net gain.

I find the “stuff” versus “command” argument amusing. It appears many of you think velocity and movement equal “stuff”. Velocity and movement without command and control is in a word, Farnswurst.

At least Pavano got the crap beat out of him, right!??!

~I really feel for Wang,and the way the Yankees shut him down,in post season from working on his arm strength and not DETECTING it in spring training.

~Cashman needs to go. If he didn’t have the deep budget of the Yankees,and was with a smaller payroll,he would be fired,because of some of his picks.I would like to see what he would do without the fail safe protection of all the Yankees money.

~Smaller markets GM’s have to be accurate,one bad over the top contract for a bad player and they can’t compete. Cashman benefits from the Yankees deep pockets,because they can cover his bonehead moves.

You’d kill the bullpen instead. You’d have two 5-6 IP starters in the rotation.

This is why Wang needs to be fixed. His length is the cure to a weak bullpen.
