Rafael Soriano was throwing off flat ground yesterday and had to shut it down because of soreness in his elbow. He went for another MRI today, but results are not immediately available.
Joe Girardi said he’s more
concerned at this point, which should be obvious.
We need mas Flores.
Stop messing around and send him for stem cell therapy.
Duh.
This signing is turning out to be brillant.

We need mas Flores.
*******************
Maybe they could trade him to Columbia Presbyterian for an MRI machine.
he will be done for the year
lucky steiiny and randy levine wanted this sack of cr-p…..
robertson and joba are fine but they need 1 more pen stud they do not have.
no feliciano and soriano, ouch……
maybe Cashman does know something after all
should go see Dr Andrews
kate-Cashman’s looking like a genius right about now. LOL
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
According to Joe’s binder, if it’s the 8th inning, it’s time for Soriano’s MRI.
Calling Doctor Frank Jobe.
Great signing Levine.
Just for the locker room presence.
but they need 1 more pen stud they do not have.
=========
Hughes to the rescue!!
He is 100 percent faaking becuase he does not have the guts to pitch in New York He must be Kyle Farnsworhless lost brother from another mother.
What a disaster this dude is.
It was the middle of January before he signed… did anyone even come within half of the 35 million we offered?
SoS – I would say Felix might be more expensive today, only because it’s prospects + money + new contract… but Kershaw would very easily cost more in prospects.
Sorry Faking
He is tanking so the Yanks will cut him and he can take is 35 million to go be a stud in KC
hey, at least its’s RoJoMo.
besides, robertson is pitching much better than soriano anyways.
SoS – Sory, not +contract.. he’s signed until 2015 at…
2012 26 Seattle Mariners $18,500,000
2013 27 Seattle Mariners $19,500,000
2014 28 Seattle Mariners $20,000,000
To get Kershaw would require cleaning house because you can’t leverage money against it.
BloggingBombers I have to assume the Yankees are waiting to hear what Felix Lopez has to say about Soriano’s MRI before releasing any info. #SortOfKidding
BloggingBombers Can’t wait to talk to Soriano after the game today. I want to hear if his elbow setback is also the hitters’ fault.
*******This just in*******
Soriano has agreed to only pitch in the fall league(no a.l. east affiliates)and will only pitch week nights. Day games are too hot and theres better things to do with your time on weekends.
It looks like surgery is in Soriano’s future. I doubt we will see him again this year and I am glad Levine gave up there #1 draft pick for this nut.
I am sure Cashman will blame the Rays for over using him
I.E.,
Under those circumstances. Who would you prefer?
if you want some entertainment during the game, check out Barkley on TNT’s Heat-Bulls pre game at 8pm tonight, that was hilarious on Sunday night
He is tanking so the Yanks will cut him and he can take is 35 million to go be a stud in KC.

Soriano meet Kei. He’ll show you around. Enjoy your stay and thanks for playing.

Soriano pulling a Costanza???
Doctor: I’ve looked at your X-rays.
George: Uh-huh.
Doctor: And I find that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you.
George: Hmm. Really? Nothing?
Doctor: Nothing that would indicate involuntary spasms.
George: Well, it’s kind of a mystery, isn’t it?
Doctor: No, not really.
George: How so?
Doctor: May I suggest the possibility that you’re faking?
http://www.seinfeldscripts.com.....ogurt.html
its amzing how things work out.
Farnsworth: Could not get my grandmother out when he was a yankee and he shuts the door on us a week ago.
Texeira: BA 303, 2008; 2009, 292. and this dude cant sniff a 300 BA again.
Burnett, absolutely lights out againts the AL 20-5 or some sick number and he can’t carry his weight.
Soriano 2010, 45 saves 1.79 era and he can’t get anyone out and now he’s hurt. UNREAL….
yuchhh…….
pavanoesque….
Soriano has been on the DL basically every year except last year. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that he has arm problems. I don’t think he is faking it but the guy is an injury waiting to happen and now they are stuck with him next year.
A jury has found that the manufacturer of Cory Lidle’s airplane is not responsible for the crash..
I’m no aeronautical engineer but like,… duh
I’m more pissed about the lost draft pick than the prospect of Soriano being out the rest of the year. I’m not worried about finding a stud reliever mid-season…the Yankees have managed to do that before (Joba, Hughes, Wood).
Thanks for this Randy Levine
This is what happens when non-baseball guys make decisions.
What about the architect? That buidling was too tall.

SoS – Considering the prospects Kershaw would haul in… even though i would rather have him as a pitcher going forward I would rather trade for Felix. Spending money is not as devastating as trading away prospects.
Please note I don’t believe these are possibilities, just entertaining the thought
He’s going to sit on the DL all season long then opt out come September….Adios!! Ya BUM!!
So which “non-baseball” guy decided to sign Andruw Jones and Feliciano??
So who will come back first, Soriano, Hughes, Feliciano or Marte?
Hughes-Sorryano-Feliciano. Marte is done for the year!

********************
Hughes.
Soriano is going to be one helluva pick up next year…or the year after.
“So which “non-baseball” guy decided to sign Andruw Jones and Feliciano??”
Basically, no one in the organization knows how to sign the right player.
Felix the Gardener might be next in line to put his defacto GM talents on display
cashman for whatever reason was against the signing but the steinnys and levine needed to make there usual splash so they signed a malcontent j ass… for mega money when he had no market for that type of money.
cashman has been dealing with these meddling baffoons for years. arod 10 year deal etc.
cashman wanted CC at any costs but many of the other deals like derek he wanted to hold the line… obviously he knows a lot more then those other fools………
OMG. Have you guys seen this? Evan Longoria pretty much saved a reporters life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMujgAAyH-I
I don’t see Cashman blaming the Rays at all. He knew it was a bad signing and is just sitting in his office laughing his butt off about it.
Strictly a money play by Soriano. He got his and now there is nothing anyone can do with him.
andruw jones signing is fine. he sucks who cares he is getting paid arods tip money and has a 1 year deal. to compare jones or colon or garcia’s contract to jeters or soriano’s is like comparing a job at mcdonalds to being the ceo of GE, no comparison………
If the Yanks or actually Randy Levine was willing to lose their #1 draft pick then Scott Downs was by far the move to make. Even though he is older he is really good and doesn’t come with that injury history. I was also surprised that the Yanks didn’t look into Rauch. I always liked him and considering he signed for nothing it made a lot of sense. But obviously an always injured guy with a 2 era was sexy to Randy Levine.
I.D.-
You mentioned in an earlier post that you could think of 5 better offensive 1st baseman than Teixeira. My list would include:
Pujols
Cabrera
Gonzalez
Votto
Konerko
Howard
Fielder
and perhaps Gaby Sanchez
yanks would love if soriano opted out but there is zero chance soriano opts out.. NADA..
no chance fool……..
i believe feliciano was a good signing in theory.
he was durable and never on the DL.
He was overworked, but so was CC before he came here and he didnt end up on the DL.
“Hughes-Sorryano-Feliciano. Marte is done for the year!”
Marte was the punch line. I can’t tell a joke…
Just looked over Soriano’s career…
2006 – 60 IP
2007 – 72 IP
2008 – hurt
2009 – 75 IP
2010 – 62 IP
2011 – hurt
Soriano will not hurt the yankees in the future.
if he plays great, if not, he sits on the DL.
His 35 M while ridiculous, will not stop the yankees from signing whoever they want (as long as they want to come here).
WCYF-
How did Longoria know that ball was heading their way. Batter yell “FORE?”
YT – I didn’t bring that up, the babbling idiot I was attempting to correct did.
Konerko? Really?
Votto has to show he can do it more than once
Fielder is borderline
Teixeira just isn’t as bad as he’s being made out to be. There’s a reason he goes as a top5 1B in fantasy baseball, it’s called a track record.
His 35 M while ridiculous, will not stop the yankees from signing whoever they want (as long as they want to come here)
=======================
Think this one goes on Hal’s GM resume.
ID-
If those ratios on Sorryano hold up, he should be good for 65-70 innings the next 2 years, then buyer beware!!
Four months ago suggesting the Yanks maybe shouldn’t have signed Soriano caught you a lot of grief around these parts. Where are all the Soriano boosters? They need to start posting more.
Can we wait until Soriano has surgery before we write him off for the year? Some of you are beyond ridiculous, it’s amazing you get through an entire day without assuming the moon is gone.
Who cares. Really.
Even when he was healthy, you could tell he didn’t fit in here.
See ya.
WYH – Anyone that pretends to be able to predict injuries can step up front and center. Hindsight doesn’t change the fact that it was a good idea at the time.
Will Tex put up better offensive numbers in his final year of the contract than Giambi did?
.247
32 homers
96 rbi
.875 ops
Konerko? Really?
====================
Konerko’s been a better offensive player since the beginning of 2010, but Teixeira’s track record is clearly superior.
“WYH – Anyone that pretends to be able to predict injuries can step up front and center. Hindsight doesn’t change the fact that it was a good idea at the time.”
Well start defending him then. The man needs some defenders. But I can’t say, if you researched my old posts, that I thought it was a good idea at the time.
SoS May 24th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
As much as I disliked Griffey Jr. for holding a gun to Seattle(going public) and making them trade him to Cincy. I have to respect him for hanging up the gloves mid season.
————————————–
Jr didn’t really hold a gun to the Mariner’s head, he and the team worked it out so he could go home. Even though the trade was in February, 2000, he knew before the end of the 1999 season he was leaving (I played golf with him in San Francisco before his last game that season-in Oakland, and he told us that).
Jr is a really nice guy, he had a great career that, without injury, would have most likely put him in the Top 10 of all time players.

*Steps up front and center*
The Soriano signing was an awful idea from the start.
I think Ken Griffey Jr. is still very close to being an all-time top 10 player, considering he dominated in his era while being one of the only clean elite players.
Both offensively and defensively, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do.
Soriano has a history of elbow and shoulder problems.
He has never been healthy three years in a row. He was healthy in 2009 and 2010.
Hmmmm…I wonder what happens in 2011.
White Sox have 6 starters-Buehrle, Floyd, Danks,Humber, Jackson, & Peavy. Probably Jackson or Danks might be moved to the bullpen-maybe Humber although he’s been their most effective starter. Danks a lefty, is 26 and currently 0-7 with a 4.34 ERA.
Any interest in acquiring him for the rotation as 2nd lefty and having Colon move back to the bullpen, maybe as 8th inning guy if Soriano out any length of time? Joba for Danks?
MG,
I was referring to the situation where Cincy and I believe Atlanta was going after him. Cincy was upping the anti with Pokey Reese if I can recall and others. Griffey came out and said he would only play for Cincy and Cincy pulled Pokey out, dropped their offer knowing ATL was out of the race. I cant remember how I heard all this transpiring. I could have it all wrong. My brothers hero was Griffey and I never let him live that situation down. I will feel really bad if all of that story was bogus. He played Single A ball at the town I grew up in and I watched him play. There is no doubt he would have had the Homerun record if he didnt break down physically.
what does tht trade do?
danks right now is less than colon, so its a downgrade
and its not like joba is pitchin bad out of the pen
the yankees dont need to trade for a 3rd-5th starter, its either a 1 or 2 or save ur prospects
Yankee Trader,
I have argued for awhile to get Danks. His value might be lower now. A second lefty, especially against the Sox would be great.
danks is a good pitcher, fairly young an affordable.
they would want a ton for him………..

Glad to see you aren’t getting your hopes up, ID…
Granted it’s a SSS, but given the start Pineda has had to his big league career, it’s hard to imagine the M’s would want to separate King Felix and Prince Diabolical – a semi-decent duo to build around

SoS, Jr is a friend of one of my best friends. I hosted him at my golf club in SF and he couldn’t have been nicer to our members-he signed a bunch of things, bought about a $500 driver from our pro, and was just a pleasure to play golf with-he hits the ball really well and has a terrific short game. The best part for me, though (outside of playing really, really well), was seeing him order matzoh ball soup as part of his lunch after the round lol
I never paid attention to the machinations around his departure from Seattle but he clearly wanted to play in Cincinnati-he’s a real family guy and wanted to watch his kids grow up.
Yankee Trader – if it’s a fake it’s really well done. It’s got over 3 million hits on YouTube.
It is probably fake – but definitely is not a home edit. It was done by a top VFX company I’m sure. Maybe for a commercial or video.
“White Sox have 6 starters-Buehrle, Floyd, Danks,Humber, Jackson, & Peavy.”
————-
I believe the White Sox will look to move Jackson, if anyone, who is a free agent after this season.
They likely recognize that trading younger, effective, and relatively cheap lefty starters like Danks isn’t wise unless you have to.
ESPN airing a segment right now – “More Likely to Win AL – Red Sox or Indians?”

That was amazing! Did you catch the look on that reporter’s face? I think she may want to start covering the crime beat now…
I haven’t seen the Longoria video in the news, and that would definitely make the sports headlines…at the minimum.
Found this on the video being fake:

Has ESPN not noticed yet that the Red Sox still aren’t setting the world on fire? Clueless.
