Levine fires back at Rangers CEO, and other notes

The fire hasn’t completely disappeared from the Yankees front office.
Today, team president Randy Levine ripped Rangers CEO Chuck Greenberg for his public comments that the Rangers late push for Cliff Lee might have been what ultimately led Lee to sign with the Phillies.
According to the Daily News, Levine called Greenberg “delusional” and said he would be impressed if Greenberg could get the Rangers off “welfare,” a reference to Major League Baseball’s revenue sharing.
To be honest, I didn’t take Greenberg’s statement as any sort of boast or as a slam against the Yankees — he seemed to be saying that the Rangers made one last attempt to keep themselves in the mix and accidentally gave the Phillies time to swoop in — but I suppose Lee must be a sore spot with all of the Yankees front office, and it’s hard to argue with Levine when he says Greenberg should “let Cliff Lee speak for himself.” Also, it’s hard to ignore the fact that Greenberg made some negative comments about Yankee fans during the playoffs.
A few more notes and links from today:
• In other Yankees front office news, Hal Steinbrenner spoke to the New York Post and said disagreements between the front office and Brian Cashman have been blown out of proportion. That’s pretty much the same thing Cashman has been saying.
• The Associated Press moved a short story today about Derek Jeter and Kevin Long wrapping up their early work in Tampa. The final line of the story was this: Long is scheduled to spend time with third baseman Alex Rodriguez and designated hitter-catcher Jorge Posada next week.
• The Rays made another small move, signing Casey Kotchman to a minor league deal. Every time I hear Kotchman’s name, I think back to the Angels minor league system in the middle of the decade, when Kotchman, Dallas McPherson, Brandon Wood, Howie Kendrick and Erick Aybar seemed on the verge of giving the Angels an incredible young infield. Instead, Kendrick has been pretty good, Aybar has been solid and the other three — generally considered the best prospects of the bunch — have been massive disappointments.
• Speaking of AL East moves, Orioles are reportedly still after Vladimir Guerrero, but Buster Olney says the O’s have been told that Guerrero has an $8-million offer on the table. Why he’s not taking it, I have no idea.
• One more AL East move: The Orioles have agreed to terms with former Yankees infielder Nick Green to a minor league deal. I happened to witness the worst season of Green’s career — he hit .233 with Scranton in 2008 — and the next year he was the Red Sox regular shortstop for a while. Crazy. By the way, Nick was always great to deal with, even when he was at his very worst as a player. Good guy. I was legitimately happy for him when he got that gig with Boston.
• The Twins are making a slight change to the beautiful Target Field, improving the batter’s eye by — among other things — removing some trees that were distracting hitters. The news has nothing to do with the Yankees, but I really like that park, so I thought I’d mention it.
Oh gosh. I thought I left for the movies on this note. Very slow baseball day/night. Fair enough. Levine and the Rangers yada yada yada.
Y-A-W-N!
Blue Valentine was just alright.
Robby Cano has the most infectious smile I have ever seen! (looking at the picture on the last thread). When you see Robby smile, you just can’t help but smile too. Well, it makes me smile!
Levine took the jerk’s bait, which is unfortunate.
“Levine took the jerk’s bait, which is unfortunate.”
Seriously. It was just a tempest in a teapot. Not he’s turned it into teapot in a tempest.
Yeah this thread was so 4 hours ago.
Trisha,
Having seen that YES show on Robbie last night I’ll tell you that he gets that smile from his dad.
RI is one inch away from having their 3rd snowiest winter in its history. That will be fulfilled tomorrow. And a storm is on its way for next week. To quote Joe of the Hardy Boys, ZOW-EE!
Saw the show. In fact I taped it and have it on my DVR. I’m thinking that someday I will be able to show it and say “Yes, that was HOF Robby Cano as a young player.” I absolutely love that kid. How about his philosophy (from his dad) that it’s necessary to improve in some way every single year? And that’s what he’s working on. His talent is so natural, yet he doesn’t stop attempting to hone it. He’s just a bundle of awe-inspiring happiness!
Is it just me, or do others think we could use a more likeable CEO…perhaps like:
http://reallyrome.com/blog/wp-.....ek_cat.jpg
after watching the Cano special and his father, I’d have to think that at sometime late in the 2008 year Robby Cano’s papa had a rather stern chat with son. he’s been an entirely different player, more focused than before. People forget that he had three outstanding first before 2008.
Bojo, he is who he is, and I’m sure he has good points too and I’m sure he cares about the Yankees. It isn’t like the Yankees were run by choir boys and all of a sudden Levine spouts off and ruins the image. I totally love the Boss but he certainly received his share of criticism for his outspokenness.
Let’s save our indignation chits for something more meaningful. JMO. I just can’t get worked up about the interchange between him and the Texas two-stepper.
Trish–
Was just looking for a chance to post that cute picture! And he wears boots too!
GB – I flipped out over Robby when he first came up and I’ve never changed my opinion. I know I’ve mentioned this several times, but I took continual heat in the past from a Yankee poster on another forum who said that Robby’s defensive talents were just “average” and I was crazy for saying that he had natural talent and was going to be an awesome 2B. Bojo if you’re still around, you may remember the poster. Yankguy.
Trisha,
I do like Hardy Boy references. Chet, Biff and all the gang along with Aunt Gertrude. I loved those books.
Bojo – the picture is beautiful!
GB7,
I don’t know if it was his dad, or the team, but he definitely has had an attitude adjustment. It wasn’t that long ago when he said something like he still considered himself a rookie (several years after he actually was one) given all the other guys on the team. Clearly, he got the message that he’s no longer a rookie, he needs to be a one of the main guys. Last year he definitely stepped up in a major way.
Jeter is a lot bigger than people may realize. He’s big in the upper body.
—————————————————————
I’m sure he does all right or the his hordes of twits ters would have splashed it all over by now.
austinmac, I think it was also a Disney thing on television!
Clare, something makes me think his dad was very instrumental in his re-invention. His father appears to be a total no nonsense person and it appears that Robby was glued to his side from the time he was a very young boy.
Clare, I don’t know for sure, either. It could have been more than one person. His dad is a former MLB pitcher and signed with the Yankees originally, the coaching staff and I know that Rodriguez swings big influence with Cano, so, you figure that he said a few things, too. His last two seasons ave been HOF type seasons for a middle infielder. Actually, 5 of his 6 seasons have been to that standard. I see that he’s now becoming an ‘elder statesman” for the team, taking kids under his wing. That, to me, says a lot. It’s time to lock him up for a long term.
Robbie’s father spoke English very well. Much better than Robbie in fact.
Trisha,
Yes it was. Good stuff, or so it seemed then.

How odd is it that the player that most people wanted moved for Matt Kemp or just about anybody has now been deemed untouchable by those same people…all because of one season. The guy that really rode him and kept him in line (father figure) left town and Cano slid backwards. Larry Bowa has long been Cano’s biggest booster.
Hope you’re having a great winter and appear to be more of your old self. (Not saying that your old, Dolly). I’ve got bunions that have more birthdays than you. Nice to see you back.
Wow – a whole lot more to the Madoff/Mets saga:

“Robbie’s father spoke English very well. Much better than Robbie in fact.”
Noticed the same thing. In fact it took a while for me to detect that he had an accent at all.

Has to be hard being a Mets fan
GB thanks. It’s good to be back and it’s good to be feeling more like myself again.
Trisha, on Cano’s defense, I’ve seen and heard about the Robby Alomar comparisons, and he’s pretty close, but, and this is before your time, he reminds me more of Manny Trillo. It’s the hands, but, more than anything else, it’s that arm. You almost never see a bad throw. Thrown like a rifle shot and always chest high. He has at least one highlite play a game, it seems.
Against All Odds,
You’re right. And who would want to be a minority partner with this hanging over the team? Any bets on how long til Wilpon is forced to sell all of it?

—————————————–
True who would want to do apart of that because who knows whats going to happen. The Wilpons say they aren’t selling but they also said they weren’t going to allow minority owners. We all know there are times when things change.
Chip–
You always like to discuss trades…how about this one?
Curtis Granderson or Brett Gardner for BJ Upton? Thoughts?
I suspect BJ under Kevin Long would finally break out, and he gives us the best CF in baseball (gold glove) with outstanding base stealing, power, etc.
GB, Joe Morgan constantly compared him to some Hall of Famer but for the life of me I cannot remember who. I want to say Ozzie Smith but I’m not sure I’m right. (I know he isn’t a 2B).
I feel just terrible for the Mets owners. It could have been the Yankees. That A-hole Madoff ruined a nation.
Take into account the team having a hard time selling tickets. You literally can’t give them away.
Watching one of the most under rated movies of the last 40 years: “The Odessa File”, based on Frederick Forsyth’s book by that name. Jon Voight is great in this movie as is Maximillian Schell.
So who is the “mystery team” with the reported 8 million dollar offer to Vlad? I’m sure Heyman is on the case…….
Trisha, not sure who Morgan was thinking of. I always turned of the sound when the Yanks were on ESPN and tuned in the radio feed on MLB.com
The T*x*s R*ng*rs + Claude + Antler beat our Yankees .
That is final . Plain and simple .
Randy Levine just needs to shut up .
Working on a case with DVRd versions of Cash Cab on in the background. I can multitask but I think that I perhaps should stick to just one diversion while working on a case, and posting isn’t it! Cash Cab serves as white noise. Posting actually requires some thought – though it may not always seem like that is the case with my posts!
Later y’all.
The Orioles reportedly offered Vlad a contract.
Ruby Tuesday, since good things happen to good people and not-so-good things happen to sniveling little dirtbags, I’m positive that one of these days you are going to go to sit down and large chunks of broken glass will be right where you go to sit. You will so deserve it you balls-less punk. No offense of course.
Bye for now gang.
Greenberg’s comment was dumb, but aimed at Rangers fans’………….why respond? I do like it when Levine fires back at bitter owners like Mark Attanasio
Thrown like a rifle shot and always chest high.
——————————————————————————–
Rifle shot is a good way to describe some of his throws because I swear that sometimes they seem to defy the limits of musculoskeletal physiology.
I find myself wondering how the ball arrives with so much authority while his body is moving towards left field and his arm barely leaves his side.
Cano’s arm is amazing. No matter where or what position his body is in, he whips the throw in any position and it always seems to end up in the same spot. A second baseman with a right fielder’s arm.
1923, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2009
Years “our Yankees” won the world series and “our Sux” sucked wind.
He’s got an amazing sense of balance and what I guess they would call proprioception. Minimum movement / maximum energy. Super efficient.
I bet you he would have an awesome wristshot.
Good to know Morneau still has concussion symptoms and hasn’t actually done any baseball work yet.
Did you see his hitting drills on tape. It’s beem years since I saw a left handed batter hit a ball that hard and that far on a ball that gets inside as much as Cano does. He has to have the strongest wrists in baseball to do that. He’s bigger than Banks and Aaron, butm they had those kinds of wrists. yeah, maybe he could be the next Mike Bossey. Only Bobby Hull’s slapshots were harder.
I’m watching the Josh Hamilton special on MLB network. As much as I dislike the Texas Rangers, I can’t help to root for Hamilton.
“True who would want to do apart of that because who knows whats going to happen. The Wilpons say they aren’t selling but they also said they weren’t going to allow minority owners. We all know there are times when things change.”
Lot of peoples with big bucks will want to invest because: 1) the franchise/network is still a cash cow; and 2) the person(s) who buys in will almost certainly get a right of first refusal if a majority interest in the franchise/network is ever sold.
A couple of pitching notes: Looks like Duchscherer will be signing with somebody by early next week. Ohlendorff is going to arbitration with Pittsburgh over a $1 mil difference. PWill Pittsburgh trade him and would the Yankees be interested?
I don’t think they would trade him. If they did, I don’t think the Yankees would trade for him. Ohlendorf is a good guy, very smart, and would be awesome if the Yankees already had him on the team, but I don’t think he is good enough to warrant trading for.
Didn’t somebody say they saw him hitting homers from the right side? He doesn’t even need to switch hit he hits lefties so well. 13 HR’s in 200+ ABs last season. He hit 16 in 400 ABs off righties.
Thank God were getting kind of close to Spring training as I’m starting to chomp on the bit a little.
I don’t think Cano has the range of an Alomar, but he at least partially makes up for that with that great arm, plus he’s very quick turning a dp.
Yes, in the clips they showed a couple of weeks ago, Cano took 7 swings and hit 2 homers from the right side. It makes one think about him as a switch hitter, doesn’t it. I’d like to see him bat right handed in a few ST games, just to see what he does in game competition
I would like to see an inning between Cano and Rivera. To see Rivera get him out 3 times or to see if Robbie could beat Mo. Pit the Yankees best hitter against the games best closer.
I’d consider trading one of Heyer, Pope or DJ Mitchell will cash (money) for Ohlendorff.
***two*** of Heyer, Pope or DJ Mitchell ***with*** cash
Cano would have had no chance v. the Rivera of 5 or 10 years ago. Now, he could probably get a hit now ant then.
GB
Talking to yourself? I say they should just give us oolendorf. We got them CHoP last season. Its the least they could do.
You will not believe this video of Giants closer Brian Wilson on “Lopez Tonight”; he went on dressed in a sea captain outfit, a gray beard and a pipe and talked about getting massages in Thailand and much more. This guy is certifiable! (and funny)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v....._embedded#
Rich
That’s why I say an inning. Preferably when Mo is on a hot streak. I know he hasn’t had the strikeouts and he seemed to mess up more in 2010 but he still makes it look easy most of the time. Except against Texas! Ugh
Yeah, TY. It appears that way. I like Craig Heyer. He’s got the pitches to start and he can close, Pope was converted to a closer after starting..Good stuff. Mitchell is an extreme ground ball pitcher, in AAA and still young.
I liked Heyer of what I saw of him. I get him confused with Warren. I thought I had seen Warren so many more times than I did last season and as it turns out it was actually Heyer. They must have some similarities. or it could be they wear the same uniform. I’m just hoping they sign or trade for somebody. I’m okay with Nova or another guy from AAA as the fifth starter but we really need a 4th starter or it might not be worth it to buy mlb.TV this season.
Ruby Tuesday is advising somebody to shut up. hahaha. That is almost as funny as watching Beckett pitch. Of course we all know that nothing is as good as watching Beckett cry on the mound and throw is usual hissy fits. Can’t wait to see that again this summer.
TY, it’s always worth the $130.00 for MLB.TV. $30.00 a year is another great buy for http://www.MILB.com. Radio feeds and about 70-80 Scranton games a year.
MLB.TV had a promo for premium for 99 dollars but I’m not sure if its still up
MLB.TV is excellent. Leaving in the Midwest it is a great way to see all of the Yankee games. I really enjoy it and it is well worth the money.

Good Morning, Morning People.
Good morning Doreen,
I should be asleep, but I am not. I hope you had a better night than I did.
good morning!
another snowy day in paradise!
Did anyone hear the Lance Berkman quotes regarding TX? I didn’t catch the whole thing, but it wasn’t very complimentary.
SAS -
Good morning. I’m sorry you didn’t have a restful night. I am thankful that I do sleep well. My sister’s body “clock” is so off, she doesn’t sleep well at all.
We’re driving up to Westchester today. My daughter has a tournament. She came home with a gold medal on Thursday for individual skills. She’s quite proud of herself. The guys were a little ticked that a girl beat them out for first place. I never knew I had an athlete for a daughter! But this is so good for her on so many levels. Physically she stays active and then socially, at the very least it gives her somewhere to go and something to do, but she’s met some people and expanded her horizons. I am so very glad she asked to do this.

Seems to be the year of outspoken-ness in baseball.
I really grooved on all that Cano talk from last night.
Can’t heap on enough praise.
Potential for Superstardom and the name Cano are synonymous.
What a talent.
All you early feathered ones.
Bon Jour.
Grab the Duke for insurance and sign AP.
If he is working out in front of teams he must be confident that they’ll like what they see.
Perhaps he’ll come fairly cheap ?
MTU -
I guess you missed the boat.
Cano, and “Potential” for stardom. Let me tell you old hiker, Cano is a “Star”, and in fact “The Star” of the NYY.
What’s the matter, no morning coffee yet, wake up.
Hi Mike, just busting!
Doreen
Thanks. That doesn’t look as bad as the mlb guys were making it sound. I just caught part of it. We had gotten home from watching a HS basketball game and I was watching Ghostbusters and flipping to mlb on the commercials, so I just caught a snippet.
Does your daughter like to run? I would guess there are running clubs close by. She might enjoy doing some races.
Good morning, morning people
MTU likes to run, he runs from Cougers and Sidewinders.
Al-
I always like to leave a little wiggle room.
It eases my existential doubt.
Bust away. I’ve got broad shoulders amigo and thick skin from all this time wanderin’ the desert.
Hope today is more diamond than stone for you.
Cougars …….. not Cougers dah
good morning poor Erica at work
Good morning Erica.
Time for you get a job with less pressure.
I recommend you hit lotto now, or find that one rich Man you seek.
Mike -
No wiggle room necessary with Robbie, he’s the real deal, and will be the face of the franchize for many years to come.
I realized this 3 years ago, and got Robbie to sign a photo of himself to me, now it’s gold.
franchise ……. not franchize GB7 got in my fingers this morning.
Al-
Ever notice that some people these days seem to take offense at the drop of a hat.
What has happened to people’s sense of humor ?
When I grew up almost everyone and everything were fair game.
And if you couldn’t handle it tough luck.

Speaking of Shih Tzu’s, we each have 2, so what does that say about you?
Doreen-
When I got to work this morning, my HR person was here and we were chatting. She said one of the men in the office made fun of her for wearing Uggs when she is in her 40s and said she was acting like a child.
I told her I just ordered a pair. And she goes “that makes me feel better” and calls the guy and says “Erica just got a pair of Uggs too so they aren’t just for kids”. And the guy says “that doesn’t disprove my comment”.
I know that was an insult!
upstate kate -
You’re welcome.
Spec Olymp has track in the spring.
Many years ago she ran relays and was very, very good at it. This was a S.O. program in Illinois. When we moved back here, we thought she’d want to continue, but she was hesitant to “try out” for her school track team. I think she’s really going to enjoy the track segment. Next up after floor hockey is basketball. Another sport she enjoyed playing years ago. She’s a tiny girl, though, so I wonder how it will go. But if she’s doing okay in hockey, I guess her size doesn’t bother her.
Sorry you have to work today Erica. I remember the days when my husband was working in public accounting. I almost literally did not see him for a couple of months.

Or to get between them and their shopping cart.

Or never to get between them and their god given perogative.

Do not ever surrender your right to wear uggs.
That would be a severe blow to women’s rights, and cause of justice and freedom in our country.
Or least in your office.

I don’t know why wearing Uggs is age related. I personally don’t own a pair, but that is b/c I don’t want to spend the money, not b/c I am too old.

And while you’re at it.
Stop by and get Blake on the way.
Catch you all in a bit.
Is blake near me?
Al-
Told you we’d find a way.
I have a friend who owes me a few favors.
If I can’t accomodate it. He can.
Time to show you those Cougars and sidewinders in person.
(I almost forgot. Fell free to pick up any other LoHudders who
want to make the journey)
Al-
Blake is right around the corner.
Good morning all.
Count me in as the owner of Uggs. And believe me they are quite useful this winter.
AL,
im in Charlotte at the moment so Im pretty close…..
Question :
With the market seemingly collapsed for Vlad, should the Yanks kick the tires on him? Would he prefer a reduced role with a chance to win over playing every day for Baltimore? I know there is a report out there that he has an 8 million dollar offer but Im not sure I believe that…..
Blake-
I think we need another Pitcher mor than we need a hitter.
But hey, if he wants to come to work cheap enough, why not ?
Don’t think he would though.
MTU -
Don’t forget JCPD, he wants to work at the Matthews, NC location, so we’ll be on a straight line heading west, or you could come out this way, and take that ride down the river, while listening to to banjo playing locals, ha, ha.
blake -
Charlotte at the moment, does that mean you move about, and are not in one place?
