good week for the Yankees and their fans

[CaliCuse]

no more AJ frustration and a very good left bat in Ibanez.Maybe they get Chavez but in all honesty he was that impressive las t year except in the field Who knows how much Nunez has progressed in the field and with his throws to first base. He might even dominate as the RHDH Unless Andruw Jones gets hot with the bat.A strong and hated Yankee team is very good for baseball cities they play in. Usually breaking their attendance records. Everyone wants to see the home team beat the Yanks. TV rating spike when the Yanks and Sox play each other.

Doesn't make any sense to take Ibanez over Damon. Damon is better. period.

The Yanks were looking for a part time DH in Ibanez.

Damon would only sign if he could be an everyday starter.

Seems funny to say because its the Yankees but the didn't want to pay him $5 mil so they went with the $1 mil option.

I also wonder if there is some bad blood with Cashman after he left.

Got Ibanez cheaper probably. I like the signing.

I like Damon's speed and base running abilityWhether he can still hit is a question asked of both of these players Raul will be 40 te death age for baseball players usually. Everything slows down especially reflexes. Once they get to a certain point you can forget hitting a major league base ball thrown by a decent ML pitcher.:bat:

Yanks sign Chavez for 900K.

 

[CaliCuse]

It looks like the Yank

Yanks sign Chavez for 900K.

s are good to go Chavez is the final piece in this season's puzzle. Now if one of the farm pitchers can emerge this spring and become fodder for another big trade for a closer to take over next year after Mo is officially gone. It might make Hughes expendable if a kid does emerge big Betances or Banuelous.
