“LOL at this idiot caller on WFAN (I guess he’s a Met fan, not sure), who complains that Girardi is too mechanical (I really don’t know what they want from this guy – I like him personally, I don’t see him as a robot), but that he LOVES Jerry Manual because he’s REALLY good with the media and seems like a REALLY COOL guy. This is the NY fan in a nutshell….then the host, Adam the Bull said you can’t get on Joe too much because the Yanks have the 3rd best record in baeball, but that he is overly mechanical”

thankful we have Girardi.

and thankful we don’t have Jerry Manuel. Even tho he’s gangsta!! LOL

Starting pitchers who can give you 6 IP at a 4.00 ERA are immensely more valuable than an arm out of the pen.

It’s not even close.

“I just feel it’s harder to fill the #4 spot than it is to find someone to fill Aceves’ role.”

#4 starters have a 4.00+ ERA and give you 6 innings. The Mets got that with Livan Hernandez for pennies. I’m sure there are a couple of NL guys like that who can be had for a few B level prospects.

I think it will be much harder to fill Aceves’ role because he has a rubber arm that gives innings AND he has a sparkling ERA. Not only has his good pitching helped the Yankees win many games, but his ability to throw 2+ innings allows the other guys in the bullpen to get days off.

Yanks as a team batting a rousing .214 against Scott Baker.

42 ABs, 9 Hits, 2 BBs, 8 Ks and 6 of the Ks belong to Swish and Alex. Ouch!

It sounds like today might the day to give ARod his day off.

I say send Nady and Marte to the Pirates for Ohlendorf, McCutchen and Tabata.

—————————————————

And make the Pirates throw Jeff Karstens into the deal.

The Yankees don’t NEED a good #5 starter. They’ve gotten this far with absolutely no production from that slot, as well as almost every other starter in the rotation underacheiving. What they do need is to keep Aceves in the bullpen, because his rubber arm will help them multiple games a week.

—————————————————-

Good point!!! The Yankees first goal should be to win the AL wildcard. That means beating Texas, Tampa and Toronto and I don’t think the Yankees need to jeopardize their bullpen to achieve that end…they can do it with the 4 current starters and a guy from the minors.

One thing I’d suggest is, that if the Yankees decide to trade for a starter and don’t want to give up a lot, I’d try to get Ross Ohlendorf back from Pittsburgh.
1. It wouldn’t take an arm and a leg to get him.
2. They don’t have to pay him much.
3. They can trade him easily next season if they don’t need him.
