So Ackley is being compared to a more althletic Todd Walker? Interesting.

Unfortunately for me, I met him and Kevin Millar at a signing in Rhode Island. Everytime I see that ball I’m reminded of him :x.

Rosales is the man! He can play every position except for catcher and pitcher. And if you let him play those he would do it also. Hope he heals and recovers fast!

Montero’s era may begin.
notsureifsrs
he’s 3-for-22 this spring with serious defensive issues. for his sake and theirs, the yankees should let him start the year at AAA

For his sake they should also stop pretending he is a catcher and let him hit

Look.. Not trying to knock his defensive issues here, but what was the other choice? Posada and his shoulder issues? Posada’s arem before he got hurt was no better than Varitek, they plan on him being the DH, so if they try and start him at catcher a couple of games a week, he gets hurt..They lose a lousy armed catcher and their DH to boot..
What was the choice other than Montero? Bring in some rehashed AAAA guy? Might as well see what the kid can do a couple of games a week and maybe let him DH and PH for Granderson against tough lefties a few more.

cervelli will return a couple weeks into the season and the job should be his. in the meantime, i’d much rather mess with romine’s development than montero’s. why take posada’s bat out of the lineup at DH (he needs a rest from DHing?) and jones can PH for granderson

How long until Heyman tweets about how pleased Yanks are with Montero’s defense? After Friday’s defensive performance….. Heyman…… the megaphone for the Yankees…. should spew something soon….

Whats with the pot-shot at the A’s acting like they cant afford anyone? They made an offer of $80MM for Adrian Beltre, of course they could afford Santiago, but why would they? Rosales is back in May and Andy Laroche is tearing the cover off the ball. Eric Sogard looks great too. Not to mention is word around town is they might release Conor Jackson and straight up eat the $3+MM contract he has, just like they did with Wily Taveras’s contract last year. Do some homework Rosenthal, you look like an amateur!
