I think Shelley Duncan is on the verge of becoming the most popular Yankee ever.

The best part of the Betemit trade is that he's 5-10 in his career in the postseason with 1 HR. I think Joe will bench non-clutch A-Rod in the postseason for Betemit. I mean look at the guy, in his 3 years in the big leagues he's made the postseason all 3 times. He clearly knows how to win.

My only concern is that he only has 5 career stolen bases. I hate guys that clog up the basepaths.

Is that a serious statement?

Sylar,

Betemit is listed as 25, is there something new regarding his age?

[/ QUOTE ]

mlb.com has his age at 25, but his espn.com player card and yahoo profile have him as being born 7/28/80, which would make him 27

seems to be confusion, i'd assume mlb is correct

Matsui line drive single
Posada 2-run bomb
Cano double

this guy is getting rocked - he can't buy an out!

SO WHAT DOES JOE TORRE DO?

SACRIFICE BUNT!

they will probably do one of the following:

1) DH Giambi perma with Andy/Betemit platooning at first and play some combo of the 4 outfielders every day
2) Play Giambi at 1B, DH Damon most days rotating him into the OF occasionally

[Mr November]

Dam Cano is on fire.
