Matsui is sporting a 114 OPS+. ugh

Shhhh, Cashman is infallible

[YankeePride1967]

Shhhh, Cashman is infallible

Yes, because people on this site go easy on him.

[DrNick]

Matsui is sporting a 114 OPS+. ugh

With an gimpy Alex and seemingly always gimpy Jorge, along with an aging Jeter there was no place for Matsui on this team. And I sure as hell wanted no part of him anywhere/anytime near LF, which people forget he wanted to play some.

[just-blaze]

Matsui is sporting a 114 OPS+. ugh

Thames 146
Berkman 115

Yay Cashman.

Its my birthday on Saturday and Matsui was my favorite player, and I just received one of those plaques from Steiner that features WS dirt and a photo of our WS MVP from my dad today as a present. Sigh

[Yankee Fan in Boston]

Thames 146
Berkman 115

Yay Cashman.

Yeah, but it was a horrible move.

Amazing what a high upside reliever can do when not banished for weeks at a time.

From Jason Stark's column re: end of the season AL awards...

Austin Jackson is on pace to hit .305, score 107 runs, steal 25 bases and get 188 hits. The only player in history to have a year like that in his rookie season was Ichiro Suzuki, back in 2001. And ohbytheway, on the other side of the ball, the Fielding Bible also ranks Jackson as the No. 1 defensive center fielder in baseball.

For those reasons, he has Jackson #1 on his AL ROTY ballot.

And Farnsy gave up a double and a run, Proctor a HR.

Wish I got to see this guy in pinstripes

[BronxYanks45]

Shelley Duncan 3 for 3, 2 HRs and 4 RBIs last night!!!!

good for him, would have been nice to have him as a 4th OF

[delv]

he's almost Thamesian in the OF

[BronxYanks45]

my favorite Yankee 4th OF are:

Marcus Thames
Shelley Duncan
Melky Cabrera
Eric Hinske

Nady would have been on the list but he's been injured too much

No love for Shane Spencer?

[BronxYanks45]

No love for Shane Spencer?

nope, he isn't cool enough

[Yankeeah]

Duncan was like a 5th or 6th outfielder

[b-ball-lunachick]

So I took my nephew to a Somerset Patriots game last night...they were playing the Bridgeport Bluefish - among the former MLB player names that were familiar like Esteban Yan and Jorge Julio was Josh Phelps...even if you're hitting .313 there, at what point is it time to hang up the spikes?

I think Wily mo pena was signed to a minor league deal from that team by the Padres and was assigned to AAA..is that the hope? I don't know -- seems kind of sad.
