One thing I hope Joe looks at wnen putting the order together is BA with runners in scoring posistion. Cano is a .370 hitter with no one own but is below .200 with base loaded and a in the very low .200′s with a runner on second.
Heck I may lead him off. Milkey is almost the oposite-over .300 with runners in scoring position, can’t hit a lick with bases empty. I might be tempted to bat him 5th. Sounds crazy but its not if they repeat last years numbers. Its hard to understand why Cano can,t when it means the most and Milkey does,t care when it doesn’t.

After reading a bit about Nick Johnson’s recent performance I was wondering how much better his recent performanc would be if he actually got himself into decent playing condition. He looks aweful lately and a good conditioning program could do wonders for him!

Problem is Swisher’s defense is exponentially better than Dunn.

Trade swisher for dunn both play about the same defense put him in right playing half his games at the sadium he would hit 50 hr

This whole process is enjoying to watch….or it would be if I could divorce myself from the emotions. The Yankees and Red Sox are engaged in a constant chess match, both keeping a wary eye out for the other. Cash and the agents are engaged in a dance of death of sorts – who will blink first? I’m incredibly gullible, so I believe everything I hear……..
