Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
So we are interested in Sexson and not Bonds? That's pretty ridiculous.

Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
The only way the Yankees pursue him is if they see something in his past swing that he isn't doing now and they are confident they could "fix it". I have no idea if Seattle told him what to fix and if Sexson refused to, but if that was the case you would think he'd be open to suggestions after being cut (humiliating no matter how much $$$ you make). It doesn't make sense that his skills would just diminish that quickly, it would lead you to believe that something about his swing "changed" in a short time period. Th only issue is that do you waste 2 weeks trying to "right him" on your roster? Or could you even keep him in the minors for a few weeks to "tweak" his swing and see if it works, without giving up free outs in the big leagues ???

Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
I love these types of signings. There is relatively no risk and a decent possible reward.
Sign him to a minor-league deal let him get some work in down there and get his confidence up and show that he still has something. Then call him up to the majors have him work extensively with Kevin Long and play exclusively against left handed pitchers and see what you have. If he isn't helping he can go the way of Morgan Ensberg and get DFA'd.
Although as many others have mentioned I wouldn't let this get in the way of possibly signing Bonds who could have a much bigger impact and definitely should be a guy we sign if Matsui needs surgery.

Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
minor league deal if he sucks DFA or waive him, If anything this would be the end of Wilson Betemit's Yankee career, sad he hits the ball hard but too many times at people when he doesn't SO.

Oh no. He couldn't handle the boos in Seattle. Yes they actually boo someone else besides A-Rod once in a while. How in the hell will he handle NY?
Spring Training is just around the corner!

Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
This guy may be the worst hitter in all of baseball and theres no way of knowing he would be good in a bench role since he has been a starter basically his whole career and sometimes players dont make that adjustment to well. Since it will cost nothing I wouldnt be devistated if they brought him in but Im not gonna have big expectations.

Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
Sexton's splits vs. LHP this year are impressive: .344/.423/.623. But that's just 61 AB.
Is it flukey?
Same split:
2007: .238/.333/.419
2006: .204/.325/.438GO YANKS

If he doesn't deliver, the Yanks just release him and no major harm done. It's worth doing. Posada can still squat behind the plate, and Moeller didn't work any magic for Rasner yesterday.

Re: Sexson cut by Mariners
Seeing Cabrera in the on deck circle prior to BJ Ryan inducing the game ending GIDP from Cano made me want to
We need a RH pinch hitter with some pop, and we need Cash to plug that hole prior to the end of the ASB - Sexson or otherwise.
