Good risk……..there’s really little risk actually and big reward.
Berkman on MLB now…
I like it. Finally, bullpen help, and right before the deadline too.
Said he’s batting 2nd.
Finally, bullpen help.
Alright somebody has to go to the first game back at YS dressed as a Puma. Lets make Berkman feel at home in the Bronx!
Hopefully, the Yanks get genuine Wood and not laminated Wood.
I forgot that Girardi caught Wood.
Berkman up 2nd matches the blueprint that had NJ in that spot.
Swish behind Grandy breaks up the lefties.
I approve.
“Hopefully, the Yanks get genuine Wood and not laminated Wood.”
Cute, GB7. Very cute!
benshpigel The berkman era begins for #yankees vs rays: jeter, berkman (dh), tex, a-rod, cano, swish, granderson, cervelli, gardner
How can you complain about the Yanks adding 3 players for 5 mil? A fullbtime dh, a legit bench player and a low risk, high reward reliever for 5 mil. Great job by Cash.

===========================================
Any wood is good!
I wouldn’t be surprised if they add another reliever between now and August 31st.
Robertson should still get their most important non-Mo relief innings.
Maybe Girardi is batting Berkman 2nd to get his bat going. Batting before Tex and Arod is a great place to hit. But if he doesn’t hit right away they will have to move him down since Jeter isn’t hitting at all.
GB-
Or Hard Wood instead of Balsa Wood.
From the other thread….
Rich,
That’s not a lot of money, especially for three players.
Texas couldn’t do it but, if you look at Minnesota, the White Sox, Detroit, Boston, Tampa, and the Angels, all teams chasing a playoff spot, could take on 5 million dollars.
Its not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.
Pressure-treated Wood? Let’s hope it’s pressure-resistant.
Like the Berkman, Wood and Kearns pick up. Who has more speed, Berkman or NJ? Watching Berkman run reminds me of NJ.
“How can you complain about the Yanks adding 3 players for 5 mil? ”
You talking to me?
Who’s complaining?
But if you don’t realize that only 9 of 30 teams have a payroll over $100m and as a result, adding $5m is significant money, you have your head in the sand.
SJ44
It’s not a lot of money to the Yankees, but as I just posted, if you one fo the 21 teams whose payroll is under $100m, that’s over 5% of your current outlay. That’s not nothing.
Swish offers Cano protection and Berkman is a guy that sees a lot of pitches.
Good way to start out and see how it goes.
Its not a lot of money to most teams Rich.
Its not the size of the payroll you look at.
Take a look at the revenue sharing money teams like Tampa, Florida, and Pittsburgh get.
They are all under 100 million dollar payroll teams and they each get close to 20 million annually from the revenue sharing pool.
They could all take that on if they so choose and it would be using other peoples (mainly the Yankees) money.
Verducci just put a great spin on the Yankees moves on MLB.
They got:
Another team’s cleanup hitter and are batting him second.
Another team’s starting leftfielder and are bringing him off the bench.
Another team’s closer, who they’ll likely use in the 7th inning.
All of that for no prospects of value.
Team payrolls are not all solely a function of what a team can afford.
In many cases, its a function of what a team chooses to pay.
In other words, they can take on more payroll if they so choose.
Given their revenues, teams like the Marlins and Pirates can afford payrolls in the 80-90 million dollar range.
They choose not to do it because it affects profitability.
park gone, alfredo 60day dl
Park gone isn’t surprising and Aceves on the 60 day DL was expected.
Rconn: I still consider melancon a prospect of value. Not one of monteros caliber, but a good prospect.
