Re: The 2009 New York Yankees
An article from Newsday that actually makes a good point. Expect hell to freeze over next.
So that's why you can perhaps sell Pettitte on the idea of a midseason comeback; you might well need him. But in the meantime, don't give up on Aceves, Hughes and Kennedy by automatically relegating them to minor-league duty.
Hughes and Kennedy have become the poster boys for "why you can't do a youth movement in New York," and it is, of course, ridiculous. Both bombed in their big-league opportunities. And both - Hughes in the Arizona Fall League, Kennedy in Puerto Rico - displayed why they're not quite dead yet."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: The 2009 New York Yankees
Give Newsday some credit. They are usually better than the Post and Daily News, although that isn't too hard.

Yea, and much like Burnett, she'll get worse with age."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: The 2009 New York Yankees
Yanks sign Chein-Meng Wang to a 1 yr/5 million dollar deal. Avoiding Salary arbitration. Good Job by Cashman. Here's hoping Wang has a good year so he can get a nice 3-5 year contract extensionLast edited by bigfnjoe96; 12-22-2008, 09:30 PM.Comment

Re: The 2009 New York Yankees
So Pettitte turned down the 1yr/$10m deal.

Re: The 2009 New York Yankees
Pettitte signed. 1 year deal with a base salary of $6MM that could reach $12MM based on incentives.
