Yankees Thoughts

1. A-Rod has nothing to worry about that said I hope he told the truth. He is running out of supporters and don’t get me wrong last years postseason was key to his success. At 200 million dollars and 6 years left the Yankees need him happy. In 3 years he will be the face of the organization, especially when Jete retires and he becomes the darling of the town. I am one of those hard core A-rod apologists but after a while we can not keep waiting for the shoe to drop.
2. Cash and every Yankee Fan in the Universe agree that the development of the pitching staff is of the most importance. That said you cant tell me that having Ace, or Mitre be the number 5 and have Joba in the 7th, Hughes 8th and Mo in the 9th. One of these guys will be next in line after Mariano retires.
3.Granderson continues to struggle versus left handed pitching. I know that the wind has been crazy at spring training but playing him at center might not be the correct move for him for the future of the ball club.
4. Nick Johnson getting injured will be part of the 2010 norm. I home Miranda makes the team to fortify the DH spot and use him as a backup at first.
5. Yankees need to be careful with Cervelli he is very important for the future. Catchers with concussions do not last and having a young catcher that can call a great game is very important.

6. I can’t wait to the NCAA tournament; I might make the trip to Jacksonville to see some hoops. All depends on what side of the bracket my Cats fall under.
7. My final four team at this moment would be UK, CUSE, DUKE, Kansas. They are also my top seeds in the tournament. Everyone is going crazy on Ohio State, please give me a break, who have they played all year?
8. More than one mid major will make the sweet 16.
9. Tiger needs to play the Arnold Palmer invitational then go and win the Masters. He should send Big Ben a candy gram and a stripper. Thanks for getting him of the back page.
10. Speaking of Big Ben, dude you are a Super Bowl winning QB can you settle down please, you need to be a little more classy than that. Something tells me that his money will get him off.. Lets just hope no other women come out.


Lastly Jets stole Cromartie from the Chargers. Can you imagine the secondary the JETS will have next year. Teams better run the ball well.



More later....
