Now we can hopefully see Joba for 15 years instead of praying for 5 as a reliever

  Unfortunately, you can’t copy and paste their stuff. I’ve been meaning to read the interview for days now. Just haven’t gotten around to it. If I find anything good, I’ll let you know (in discreet terms, of course, lest they seek their lawyers on me with their bullshit copyright claims).

  Maybe we can get some kind of listing of general points made in the interview series. I feel like if I pay for one, i have to pay for them all– $40 for BP, $30 for BRef, i think $90 for Scout, $90 for Baseball America adds up to around $250 a year (not happening).

    BA’s definitely worth it my opinion. There’s so much info you won’t know what to do with yourself, especially come draft time.

yes! i’ve been wanting to read that Nardi article badly too. if anyone has a membership, perhaps you would be kind enough to post some of the more important stuff (in discrete terms of course). Thanks in advance.

Yes, I made it into an RAB post! I’d like to thank the George Steinbrenner, Yankees, my mother…

Hopefully, this isn’t like Brian Cashman defending Bubba Crosby as the starting CF in 2006…

Hank Steinbrenner said it, so…
Also, this would only hurt Cash in terms of leverage with Mo.

Hank Steinbrenner seems to enjoy the spotlight a little bit… I hope he is not going to be George II, as in the original George in the 70s and 80s.

As long as the yankees dont disrespect rivera, he’ll be back. He’s not going to ask for the world, and they shouldn’t low-ball him; they can afford to give an extra 3 million or so if he wants it
