Re: ***yankees official offseason thread*****
Around the Horn: "More Valuable: A-Rod or Torre?"
Tim Cowlishaw (paraphrased): Torre has won more than any other manager the past 7 years. You have to ask yourself when talking about a manager, does he put his team in a position to win? does he handle his pitching staff well? yes he is great at both of those... Why do I waste my time watching these damn shows?

[/ QUOTE ] Hahahahahaha Here's my question: Do we have any reason to believe Don Mattingly will be good at any of the things Torre was bad at? Afterall, his only experience coaching is sitting next to Torre, and Mattingly seems to love the guy. Does anyone know much about Girardi's style? I've never watched a Marlins game, so I have no idea.

I know I watch it to hear ridiculous things like that, but the closer it gets to a Skip Bayless comment from random silly musing, the less likely I am to watch.

Re: ***yankees official offseason thread*****
Triumph,
I said it wasn't fair to categorize him as a below average hitter "IF healthy". 40 games and 140 plate appearances is not healthy. Also, for you to ascertain that he is finished is wrong. His 2004 season almost mirrors his 2007 season (OPS was worse in basically the same number of at bats), yet at the age of 34 (HE'S IN HIS 30's OMGGG HE'S DONE!) he still rebounded to finish 5th in OPS in 2005 and 6th in OPS in 2006. Is it likely he comes back again and provides numbers close to those? No. Is it correct to proclaim he's as good as done? No.

Re: ***yankees official offseason thread*****
hoya -
Giambi has had a strange career - and he has bounced back from one nightmare season already. However, for you to think he will be healthy next year is almost laughable. He won't be. The guy can barely DH - he will be dinged up from now until the end of his career. Again, I'll set the line where I set it and take the under all day. I'll even move it to .485. Maybe I should raise it to 80 games/300 PAs?

Re: ***yankees official offseason thread*****
Desert Cat,
Posada will most definately decline this coming year, but he would still be a great option... the problem starts coming into play when he wants a 4th season... he'll become such a black hole
