If he shows he can consistently make contact, he would be available on his off-days to ph, which would open a spot for another position player or additional arm.<br /><br />I can't see the Marlins making a trade for Cabrera and Sanchez. Cabrera did a great job for the Yankees this year and has been tabbed as the #4, Sanchez is a great looking prospect, but at this point that is exactly what he is - a prospect. But hey, if the Marlins want the trade, make it.old professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823684296552393738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-61577075685126576132006-11-30T21:41:00.000-05:002006-11-30T21:41:00.000-05:00I wouldn't mind Willis but he's another righty. An...I wouldn't mind Willis but he's another righty. And that means you now have about 8 arms for the rotation (9 if you want to count on Pavano...I'm not). I think you need at least 2 lefty starters. Maybe this Japanese guy can fill a #5 spot. I guess everyone else goes to the bullpen or back to AAA. <br /><br />I like RJ to have another decent year. Only in NY is 17 wins not good enough. Wang had 19 and people were saying Cy Young. Yet Johnson is disappointing...give me a break. <br /><br />Things should heat up next next with the Winter Meetings starting soon.Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284399970885438293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-30936795433889065562006-11-30T09:13:00.000-05:002006-11-30T09:13:00.000-05:00I like the idea of the Rutgers Coach!I like the idea of the Rutgers Coach!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-54549610600337457802006-11-30T08:59:00.000-05:002006-11-30T08:59:00.000-05:00I think the OLD prof is on the money with The Big ...I think the OLD prof is on the money with The Big Unit. I know this might just be wishful thinking, but I'm feeling that a big year is coming for Randy.<br /><br />Don't know much about Igawa other than David Wright hit one to North Korea off of him in that MLB/Japanese All Star tournament thing. By most accounts he should be a soild #3 or #4 starter. Hopefully he'll give them some more innings than they got from that spot last year.<br /><br />Andy Pettit sure learned how to negotiate pretty well from his buddy Roger, didn't he? Both of those guys are starting to piss me off. <br /><br />So, in the "you heard it from me first about a month ago" category, Yesterday's NY Post reportded that the Yankees might try to build a deal around Melky Cabrera and Humberto (Dirty) Sanchez for none other than Dontrelle Willis. I say..whatever it takes..Cashman needs to get this done.<br /><br />Strahan is a bully and a thug. He was 100% right about Plax and he should have held his ground instead of trying to intimidate a female reporter. I'm sick of both him and Tiki. Any way Tiki can take Strahan into retirement with him. The team didn't win with those two as the core....they need to move on. Coughlin can go too. There's a guy down the Jersey Turnpike who would be perfect for the job and he's coaching the Scarlet Knights to a BCS game this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35713616.post-68185685042393060802006-11-30T08:12:00.000-05:002006-11-30T08:12:00.000-05:00The Yankees seem to have a fascination with pitche...The Yankees seem to have a fascination with pitchers from Japan. If they sign Igawa, hopefully we will work out better than the last two. Irabu was a brief flash for a few games, the other one was nicknamed Kats and while he signed for over $1 million, never got beyond AAA and is somewhere back in Japan.<br /><br />Don't give up on Johnson yet. He delivered 17 wins with a bad back. The surgery may have aleviated some of that. If so, he can be productive.<br /><br />Toronto is serious, they fininshed second last year and they hope to finish higher this year. Thomas won't be the difference. Their rotation has to remain healthy. They were competitive last year until two starters went on the DL. If healthy (a big if) Halladay could have a monster season.<br /><br />As for Strahan, listen to the ESPN interview from the locker room. He tried to back away from saying he called out a teammate and chose instead to verbally attack a female reporter.<br /><br />The Giants ship is sinking and with all of the locker room backstabbing it will be difficult to get continuity on the field.old professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823684296552393738noreply@blogger.com
