To what do you attribute the loss of velocity? His velocity was a weapon that he knew how to use. At times he seems lost without it. It's like he is surprised when throws a fastball and it barely tops 90. Drive certainly comes into question, but I really do not like the fact that someone decided that his body needed a change because it might break down. Well, guess what, his brand new body just broke, he was placed on the 15-day DL with right knee inflamation. Healthy or not, his overweight body worked for him and he did not have any major issues with it or with his performance until some genious decided that he should be 'fit'.

Both valid points. I kind of liked him, but that stunt he pulled his last year was really really stupid.

What bothers me is that Sabathia can't. Whose idea was it to make him go on a diet????? Put him back on soda and fried chicken ASAP!

Well, they were all important parts of world series winning teams, so they should get some form of recognition. Plaques sound nice, it's not too much and they'll get their place in history. Just out of curiosity, what do you hate the most about Jorge?

Just ignore him. He's no longer a member of the Yankees, and because he chose not to. Why should we care?

Let's hope!

Do you think he's old enough for the Yankees to sign or trade for? I bet Cashman is depressed right now because there aren't enough players over 40 on the roster. Give a guy like Jason Giambi credit. He's 43 and still playing and helping out the Indians.

Just read an article about that on SI.com According to the article, overuse of young pitchers seems to be the root of the problem.

Apparently pitch framing is a skill that the Yankees consider very important. It's one of the reasons they allowed Chris Stewart to play for that many games last season.

I'm starting to understand you better as the years go by... This Nova trip to the DL was not something I thought might happen. I thought he might suck, not that he'd get injured.

Wow...! I just asked because I had never heard of it, and when I went back to the home page to check for it, it wasn't there so I thought it was a typo or something. Now that I've read your story...wow! I hope you get better soon, not because of the mod. There isn't much I can do all the way from Portugal, but I'm pulling for you. That's it from me really, I hope you get better!

Just out of curiosity, there is a 1971 TC?

So far, as good as advertised. So far...

It still amazes me that people who do this for free, do it so much better than the ones who got paid for it. Love your work man, there should be an award named after you. Or a stadium. Something!

I agree, I like Cervelli but there's always something in the way of him turning into a productive player for the Yankees. With the surplus of catchers in the minors, it wouldn't be a bad idea to trade him for some infield help.

Are you sure you're not related to the Steinbrenners?

I wonder how the meeting went where someone decided: 'Yeah, ninja turtles jerseys, THAT is the way to go!'

What happened?

For me the pillow is always part of the setup. The game will start at midnight, portuguese time, and for week days that's what usually happens. Something tells me that tomorrow morning's training session will be hard...

I read that this morning and I have to say that I agree 100%

Beltran has started slowly, but Soriano to me is just doing what he always does, swinging at ridiculous pitches. Today he swung at a pitch in the dirt with men on 2nd and 3rd. That's just what he does, and we'll have to live with it.

At this point, I'm not sure that there was a lot to inherit. So, 4 games into the season and where is Tex? That's right folks, the DL.

I'm all for realism and accuarcy, but come on, it's spring training, you should be fine without it, or at least until someone gets that done.

I can't decide if I love Solarte because he got Nunez kicked off the team, or because he's actually serviceable.

Nothing is ever enough, is it?
