Stark On Cameron, Ohman, Jenkins

"The Phillies would eat almost all of the $8MM owed to Jenkins."

We said the same thing about Eaton. I'm thinking calling everyone up and telling them you'll give a player away is maybe not the best strategy.

Not that other teams should be blamed for laying off a 33-year-old outfielder with a 79 OPS+.

?*

Cameron doesn't make any sense on the Brewer end either. Gardner and Cabrera are both downgrades to Cameron and the entire point of the trade was to free up money to get pitching. Now that they signed Looper there isn't really any room for more pitching.

"The most-heard observation about the Yankees this spring: That team could have serious, and potentially fatal, defensive issues. They're range-challenged in left, in right and at shortstop. They have reliability issues at second. Alex Rodriguez is now a major question on every level. And nobody knows what kind of defensive catcher Jorge Posada is capable of being over the long haul. There are rumblings the Yankees are poking around again on Mike Cameron's availability".

This is total 100% BS from top to bottom. Who are the rumblings from, Yankee haters? Damon is range challenged? Arm challenged maybe, but the guy can still cover ground. RF? Swish and Nady are adequate, not spectacular....but to say they are a scary liability is stupid. If Jorge can't throw, Molina is the best in MLB at it. Cervelli also has a cannon. Cano had mild discomfort...he rested and is fine now. Jeter is Jeter. He's not Visquel or Ozzie but he's not going to lose you many...and stat nerds, don't waste your time with your BS zone ratings and other crap. You guys never even watch him play an inning...I see nearly every game!

While the Yankees are NOT a defensive stallwort by any means, they are not the bad news bears either. Their pitching and hitting will make-up for it...just like every year.

As for Cameron...why the F would the Yankees want a 37 year old who'll hit .240 and K 150 times for 10 million? Gardner's D is just as solid at this point in Cam's career...Gardner has been raking in pre-season and if he can hit .270, he'll steal 50 bases. Just fine for a #9 hitter.

jjyankeesfan2 agree with you 100% on both posts. Melky is going to have a productive MLB career. People rip him because he isn't an elite prospect and will never put up dazzling numbers but trust me plenty of teams are hoping they get a shot to add him to their team.

This is just speculation but I think fans got spoiled during the steroid era. Every team will not be loaded with guys putting up ridiculous numbers anymore. In a couple years teams are going to full of guys like Melky because the playstation stats have already been disappearing.

Will this finally be the year "The Melkman" reaches his unlimited potential and embarks on a HOF career ?LOL!

And another Yankee fan bites the dust. Sweet!

oh and if the Phils hadn't have rushed to sign Jenkins before realizing Werth was a full time player then they wouldn't have wasted the money on him. Another ridiculous contract. That $8 million would've looked nice this year on another pitcher or stud reliever.

John Buck is not on the trading block. The Royals don't have any holes to fill anyway, maybe a 5th starter if I'm really picky, but we have several more than adequate candidates.
Can't wait to see KC kick the Yankees in the overpaid steroid injected butt.
The Yankees and Astros look like Geritol train wrecks waiting to happen.

Jjyankeesfag2, I was trying to hype up the Melkman to hide the fact that all your teams prospects are flops. Geez, show a little appreciation jr.!

I don't know what's MORE pathetic...the fact that you come on here everyday just to attempt to pi$$ people off or that fact that you know as much about baseball as a 4th grade girl. I feel badly for you...I really do.

WOW...I thought that only Rag Sox fans were delusional!

"Jeter is Jeter. He's not Visquel or Ozzie but he's not going to lose you many...and stat nerds, don't waste your time with your BS zone ratings and other crap. You guys never even watch him play an inning...I see nearly every game!"

Great you again.

Translation.... "I was a minor league hack who got rocked so I know more about baseball then all of you stupid stat head idiots! I see baseball more clearly then all of you!'

We already heard your whole rant about stat heads and how you know more then all of us. Give us a break.

wow nrmax good catch. I didn't even see him that Jeter was basically average at SS. The most ridiculous thing i saw so far in the WBC was when Davey put Jeter at short in a deciding game instead of Rollins. that's like playing Howard at first when you have Teixiera. Jeter is a below average fielder and everyone knows it. those that don't admit it are delusional. I'll readily admist Howard's inadequancies in the field but his 50HR's per year and 150 RBI's make up for it for me.

Oh and as for IDIOT, i find it best when we all just ignore. make like he's not there and he'll go away. Kind of like his team in the ALCS.

philswschumps, at least i know my role here which is to be the foil to obnoxious bronx posters by beating them at their own game so that my teams intelligent posters don't have to waste their time dealing with their b.s. "sign everyone, our prospects rule, remember the 86 yr.curse, highest w.s. payroll ever team" that they bring to every sox post. I don't like when a moron from THE ABSOLUTE MOST IGNORANT FANBASE puts his 2 cents into a conversation when he's not invited. Your team got lucky last year with one solid starter so hurray to you and your "PANSY" fanbase!.

Not as bitter as you crybabies when the Pats stomped on your Iggles in the Super Bowl. Way to run down the clock dumbass!

Team of the decade? Now who's delusional! Just like the Red Sox, the Patriots are the team of the decade in their sport sorta like how you're the nitwit of the decade in life!

Red Sox. You see Myers? He beat his competition around pretty good in the second half of the season last year. Guess you just chose not to notice that though. Also, I am a Phils and Eagles fan. Weren't you the favorite in that Super Bowl? Who had more fans there? DEFINITELY not you. Do not attack our fan base. How many fans did the Patriots average in the 90s when no one cared? 2300 lol? You're mostly new fans. Philly is a football town (while I do not hold football as my favorite sport), and the Eagles have ALWAYS HAD A FAN BASE despite not having won a championship since 1960. The Pats are the team of the decade though, i don't know what that other phillies guy was talking about.

"Great you again.

Another ignorant moron has spoken.

You don't know a thing about me, so save your childish and majorly incorrect blind assessments.

I come one here at times to discuss BASEBALL. Not to battle teenage tools who need to purposefully annoy everyone to make themselves feel better.
