Crap. Why weaken the infield unless Tex’s toe is bothering him?
Anyway, go CC!
Is Phelps the best of the Warren/Phelps/Mitchell trio?
I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Is Phelps the best of the Warren/Phelps/Mitchell trio?
–
Short term, probably. Long term I like Warren the best out of the 3.
Warren-Phelps-Mitchell in that order for me.
Dammit!! Did Posada throw another fit so he can play first base?
Nunez is an upgrade over jeter
Ever thought you would believe that? Tis true
Dammit!! Did Posada throw another fit so he can play first base?

Nobody puts baby on the corner
Warren, Phelps and Mitchell, yep, that’s the answer.
Nunez might be an upgrade over Jeter, but he may also be a downgrade. He’s boom/bust.
Had to turn it off. Fans are more idiotic than Kay.
Swisher-Cervelli-Nunez for Reyes? Why would the Mets want that?
yankees might play with 1 man short tonight out of respect for Jeter.
the team might allow Jeter one day to feel better before placing him on the DL
just because Pena has a locker does not mean a move has been made.
Michell is the better choice…he has the better secondary stuff.

As I was watching Cervelli’s antics behind the plate last night; the way he pauses and looks around before picking up the ball that he just blocked at the plate, the way he shakes his fist after a good play or strikeout, the pronounced way he deliberately takes a few steps away from the batter before throwing the ball to third after a strikeout….and I was thinking “who the heck does that in the major leagues” (i.e. acts like a little leaguer)..
and the name that came to mind was..
Jose Valverde …
he’s our watered down version of Jose Valverde….
yankees might play with 1 man short tonight out of respect for Jeter.
=========
Hmmm. Tough call. Do I want a ghostman in right field or catcher?
“Swisher-Cervelli-Nunez for Reyes? Why would the Mets want that?”
Why ask why?
Joelsherman1 With rain in forecast, if posponed, #Yankees could wait day on Jeter decision give 24 more hrs to heal
Cash on with Mikey soon.
Rich in NJ,
Just hope that Nike is the official gear of the Mets. “Just Do It”
makes you think they’re worried about having to pull cervelli so they don’t lose the DH, swish could play 1st and dickerson/jones still on the bench
Sado better take some bunts @ first though yikes
JoeAuriemmaYES Girardi on Jeter’s status: I don’t have an answer toy you yet. We are going to talk to the Dr. At 6 o’clock
JoeAuriemmaYES Girardi on Jeter’s status: I don’t have an answer toy you yet. We are going to talk to the Dr. At 6 o’clock
“The Decision 2″
Just put Martin on the DL already. He could use a week of rest, and then a few rehab games to get his swing back as he looks totally uncomfortable at the plate
Bring Montero up and let him catch Phelps on Thursday, who he’s been with all year
JoeAuriemmaYES Girardi: we are going to discuss all options with the Dr.
I smell a long losing streak coming
I have a feeling montero will rake again tonight out of pure frustration
and the RS finishing 10 games ahead of the Yankees makes me want to puke but it’s going to happen… remember our bet
——-
LOL
Obviously the Yanks are going to give Jeter time to plead his case for not going on the DL like he always does. It’s nice that Jeter and Posada call the shots because Cash and Girardi don’t the balls to stand up to the veterans.
I smell a long losing streak coming
——
You are quite the drama queen joeman
Cashman’s on WFAN now
mel,
Did you hear that Mark Cuban does not want to give the team RINGS. He said its old school and wants to give them something different. What can it be?
Bracelet
necklace
Cane
Belt
??
DanBarbarisi Yankees won’t decide on Jeter-to-DL until 6 pm. They don’t want a repeat of last year’s nagging calf injury with A-Rod.
JoeAuriemmaYES His concern is that he doesn’t want to feel good next week and have a full week off if he goes on the DL.
“I smell a long losing streak coming”
I smell a troll.
Jeter is trying to force their hand about the DL. Sweet.
Cash is on Francesa.
I don’t think Jason Kidd waited 17 years to get a bracelet.
BryanHoch Yankees will meet with doctor at 6pm to decide on Jeter DL. Might be out as few as 6-7 days
There should really be a 7 day DL for all injuries not just concussions
Ledger_Yankees Girardi says #DJ3K won’t affect decision.
I hope the Yanks put Jeter on the DL. The bench will be too short if he is on the roster and can’t play for a week. He will have zero range with a leg injury like last year when he tried to play with one.
Now we know why Jeter continues to bat leadoff v. RHP.
Ledger_Yankees Yanks’ upcoming road trip to NL parks may complicate matters.
BryanHoch “He understands it will take at least a week” – Girardi on Jeter
What don’t you guysunderstand? Pena will be activated today. Doesn’t mean Jeter is going on DL. Could be Jeter or could be a bullpen guy.
It’s enjoyable to read this blog when it’s dominated by posters with diversified yet keen insight….It’s when the game starts that things go south quickly…….Bounceback game for The Bombers as well as CC Sabathia…..
omfg they can’t carry around a commemorative jeter statue in the dug out for a week. They can’t play 7 games with 24 guys. Put him on the DL and make sure he is healthy. Being cautious with leg injuries is better than not.
Well, if it’s a bullpen guy and it’s Logan, it might make sense to leave Jeter on the roster.
If it’s going to be at least a week, then what is the delay? No question he should go on the DL.
Ledger_Yankees Meanwhile, Pena is getting recalled one way or the other. Whether it’s for Pena or one of the pitchers ( there are 13) is still undecided.
Ledger_Yankees Jeter has expressed concerns to Girardi about being put on DL; doesn’t want to sit around for a week if he’s ready in a week.
If he’s out at least a week DL him. Then he’ll definitely be ready to go in 15.
Cash: Martin,similar situation to Jeter, also doesn’t want to go on DL.
Well I’m glad the players don’t want to go on the DL, now how about management show why they are called that and manage the players
Francesa, ask about Montero. Or epic fail.
“Cash: Martin,similar situation to Jeter, also doesn’t want to go on DL.”
Martin is about 10 years younger and at least they have a credible back up at SS. They have none at C.
Montero is next option.
Ledger_Yankees Phelps being considered for Thursday’s start but Girardi says they may not make a call until Thursday night.
Since when has going to the dl been the players decision? Thanks Johnny Damon!!
He’d bring up Montero if he’d play everyday.
Won’t bring Montero up unless he is going to play every day.
Molina would sub for Cervelli if he went down.
BTW-that should be Wednesday night, not Thursday night. Unless maybe that’s what El Nino is here for!!!
DL them both!
Thinks Joe might go with Noesi if he makes it to thursday.
Cashman would say he’s not ready or some BS answer, he so wants to trade him
JoeAuriemmaYES Joe just wants to give Tex a DH day today. This is a big stretch for the Yanks.
jnorris427 Josh Norris
Romine not in the lineup. Is eligible to come off DL though, I believe.
1 minute ago
Yes, he is eligible.
As close as Martin is to the DL, he would be called on his BS pretty quickly, so I doubt itl
“Not going to bring up Montero to sit on the bench”
Cash says Jorge can catch. Okkkk…
“Well I’m glad the players don’t want to go on the DL, now how about management show why they are called that and manage the players”
Thank you! Cashman even stated on Kay’s show it’s management’s job to place players on the DL because they are incapable of making that decision for themselves because they’re wired to play through injuries.
Easy then. Catch and when not…play at dh. For posada
If Martin stays healthy I don’t think we will see Montero this year. It sounds like if he comes up it’s for him to catch everyday. It doesn’t sound like he is an option to catch and DH.
Won’t bring Montero up unless he is going to play every day.
–
He could play every day as the backup to Martin sjfnasknfkasmfsdmlggh
It sounds like Cash is blaming Posada for not being an option at C.
Or maybe not. Jorge not prepped to catch.
I rather see Noesi start
double speak
He said Posada hasn’t kept himself ready.
I have a lot of respect for Jeter’s toughness, but in this case he needs to do what is best for the team and go on the DL. As this stage of his career, he cannot afford to play with this sort of injury.
The Yankees have been down this road many times. They need to go into “hang around mode” for two months and stay within striking distance of Boston.
By August 1st, the team will look a lot different. The pen may include Soriano, Feliciano, Marte as well as one of the killer B’s. The rotation will include Hughes, Colon and a starting pitcher to be acquired at the deadline. The lineup may include a power hitting outfielder in place of Swisher (I am sure that the price would be high, but after watching Choo this weekend, I would love to see the Yankees go after him at the deadline), and Montero should be the back-up catcher/DH at that point.
How is Cash blaming Posada when he stated on the Kay show he is an option to catch?
omfg they can’t carry around a commemorative jeter statue in the dug out for a week.
=========
Better than the statues that we’re forced to watch play for a week.
Clearly, Montero’s not ready to be a major league catcher yet in their opinion. Thus more reps at AAA. Posada heating up, not going to be sitting much.
“How is Cash blaming Posada when he stated on the Kay show he is an option to catch?”
“He said Posada hasn’t kept himself ready.”
Cashman: “Our Mexican scouts seem to have the Midas touch”
Posada not ready b/c concerned about ST headaches and previously concussions.
m….Montero is not ready for prime time…bottom line
Martin is a much bigger deal not playing then Jeter right now. If Cash wants Montero to play every day then why was he being considered for the backup job in spring training?
So Cashman is changing his story from one radio show to the next.
*previous*
If Cash thinks Montero would start in the ML if Martin is DL’d, which he did, it’s hard to conclude that he’s not ready.

2nd it
“been around hear for 2.5 years….call me what you want, I take my Yankee sun glasses off”
As negative as you are, you might as well be.
“Molina would sub for Cervelli if he went down.”
Then why not bring him up now because he’s a better catcher than Cerevlli. Gr
Chambliss,
Soriano is the only 1 of the 3 that might come back this year and I would put the odds of that at less then 50 percent. I also don’t want either of the 2 killer b’s up in the pen at any point
Because of the concussion issue, Posada is not an option at catcher.
Of course he can catch in a game if the 2 catchers ahead of go down. But we won’t see Pena before Posada back there.
JoeAuriemmaYES Russell is available if need be tonight.
So you been around here 2.5 years, we’ve had trolls here a lot longer.
Cash: Need at major league level overrode Joba’s development time.
Cash admits they x=chose Yanks’ need over Joba’s development. Duh
Cashman didn’t sound convincing at all when he was saying that he would bring up Montero. It sounded like he was just saying he was ready because it sounded like the right answer to give. After hearing his answers I wouldn’t expect to see him anytime soon as long as Martin stays healthy.
Chambliss,
Nice post. Its weather the storm until August time!
Cash will protect Killer B’s from being Joba’d.
“I’m not making sh!t up.”
I never said you did just that Cashman appears to be more negative on Francesa’s show than he was on Kay’s.
Sab – excellent post. Made me laugh. LOL, if you will.
Ledger_Yankees Girardi had Hughes from 89-92 on fastball.
Ledger_Yankees Also, Girardi says Posada could catch in an emergency, but he’s not considered a candidate to catch a full game.

Well hows this have been a Yankee fan since 1955
don’t worry about joeman, we’re still waiting for his last handful of predictions to come true. How many games has Molina caught now?
Cashman is full of it – Getting Montero regular AB’s would be easy. Catch 2x/week and DH.
Boom – done! Oh wait, I forgot, that might make Posada angry and he might throw another temper tantrum
Oh, and they might have to tell Jeter he’s going on the 15 day DL – and he might get angry…
Doesn’t mean Montero could be an option after a solid month or so ……Although he could be elsewhere by then
Cash trying to rationalize Joba misusage.
“Well hows this have been a Yankee fan since 1955″
Yet despite all those WS since then, you are still so freakin’ negative. That must suck.
“Well hows this have been a Yankee fan since 1955″

Come on, Pat. How does a reasonable person like you think they would trade their only advanced offensive prospect with major upside given all the aging/declining players on this team?

My response – “well Jeter, we aren’t managing the New York Jeters, this is the Yankees and I’m going to make the moves that I feel make this team the best that it can be, deal with it”

Of course he is because if he doesn’t it looks bad on the organization. Watch the B’s will be mishandled as well
“Yet despite all those WS since then, you are still so freakin’ negative. That must suck.”
Thank you. He’s been a Yankee fan about the same amount of time as I, yet, he sure is negative for somebody that celebrated so many Yankee WS championships.

you think
Phil’s next outing Sunday for SI, 65 pitches. No pen for him.
outweighing not over weighting
Rich in NJ…..I say that because I still think the win now menatlity over rides the logical long range thinking and planning…….Also Cashman could be elsewhere as well and there goes the model for the club’s future
coming off two + years of injury they played Martin way to much early in the season
Rich….I don’t agree with this thinking by the way
Pat
Given what they have been getting offensively for most of the season from Jeter, Posada, Martin, and Swisher, winning now will be as much about upgrading the offense as the pitching.
“coming off two + years of injury they played Martin way to much early in the season”
You’re just mad because you were wrong about Molina playing all those games in April.

New Post: Jeter update
He’s been a Yankee fan about the same amount of time as I
==========
A bunch of old fogies in here. I no longer feel as bad about my grey hairs coming out.
At least Gardner gets to lead off
The killer B’s should be able to pitch out of the bullpen in August/September when they’re nearing their innings limit. The only thing is you have to make sure they go into ST next year as starters so they can build up towards 200 innings.
It’s really not uncommon to break in a talented starter by pitching him in relief first. Morrow, Masterson, Oguando, CJ Wilson, Wainwright, and several other good young starting pitchers started their big league career in the bullpen.
“A bunch of old fogies in here. I no longer feel as bad about my grey hairs coming out.”
I wish I had any color of hair.
lol Craw. Ill stop complaining right about now.
