Comments on: Joba the Distracted http://riveraveblues.com/2008/03/joba-the-distracted-2293/ A New York Yankees Blog Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:36:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: mustang http://riveraveblues.com/2008/03/joba-the-distracted-2293/#comment-56803 mustang Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:29:04 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/2008/03/10/joba-the-distracted-2293/#comment-56803 I'm happy to see that they are finally addressing this issues. I'm sure that Joba can handed it , but they don't want this to get out of hand. I also see that they are looking into some lefty help got this from MLBTR: "Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe checks in with plenty of rumors in his Sunday column: The Yankees are eyeing southpaw relievers Damaso Marte and Brian Fuentes, who've seemingly been on their radar for months. Fuentes makes $5.05MM this year, Marte makes $2MM this year with a $6MM club option for '09." What do you guys think they need to give up to get these guys ? Especially Marte i think he be a great fit. I’m happy to see that they are finally addressing this issues. I’m sure that Joba can handed it , but they don’t want this to get out of hand.

Instant celebrity. Sounds like the Yanks and Joba both have their heads on straight.
