		<description>Howe was a needed-replacement for Steve Farr, who couldn&#039;t break a pane of glass, and recall he pitched well against NY teams , not for them.

Chacon was a trouble-maker from when he was in the minors, and Straw and Doc were not accepted by Yankee fans until they actually played well - at the time it was a joke when they were signed, as both were thought to be washed up losers.

Bonds will still put up a +950 OPS on one leg, and I would take him and Christian as a platoon and DL Matsui for the century if we could.

Bat Bonds between Giambi and Posada and watch the fireworks!</description>

Dude:

1) Perhaps if you could read beyond one line you would comprehend that Ponson is preventing them from calling up either of Bredtt gardner or another young pitcher to make a spot start.

2)  Ponson is causing confusion because you need a roster spot to facilitate his one outing.  

3) You need someone to fill in for one or maybe two starts pre-Kennedy.  Why not give that shot to someone at AAA on the 40 man (karstens) or even guys who arent (McCutthen, Horne) or even beyond that someone in AA (Aceves) (which has happened before0?
I know they havent fully developed but we were told all offseason of how much depth this organization has pitching wise and granted they arent all Joba, they should be able to come up and make a spot start.  Instead of making a  move for Sidney Ponson.

4) Is there no requirement for a GM to have some foresight?  Guess what Horne is healthy now, and he may not be ready for the bigs, his health isnt preventing him.  And there was a time when marquez was referenced in the same breath as Horne.  Brian Cashman is accountable for every injury that occurs, it may not be fair here at RAB, but guess what dealing with injuries is high on the priority list for a GM.  And a GM who has the foresight to deal with it earlier is the the one who deserves to keep his job.  Not the one who signs Ponson.

5)  Regardless of Hughes spot, they are still going to DFA a player just to bring Ponson up (probably Moeller).  So yes I stand corrected they can use the Hughes spot, but it still doesnt explain why they wouldnt use this opportunity to give Gardner two weeks in the show and see how he does.  

6)  Thats good, your saying I make no sense, but your the one saying there is no issue with Sidney Ponson part II on the Yankees.  talk about clueless</description>

		<description>Ugh, come on. I&#039;m not saying he&#039;s definetely going to go to jail, but he&#039;s definetely guilty. The reason I said innocent until proven guilty doesn&#039;t matter in this case is because there is no doubt that he took steroids, but it is  possible that the evidence of him taking steroids would not hold up in court beyond a reasonable doubt. It&#039;s not like the question is up in the air of whether he took steroids and lied about it or not. The question is, can you prove it. I&#039;m glad he&#039;s innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but that doesn&#039;t mean we should use that as a base for saying he&#039;s innocent and we should sign him. I don&#039;t give a fuck if he gets convicted or not, but if the Yankees signed him, he is convicted in the court of public opinion, and he would be a distraction. Wait until the media brings back Pettitte and Giambi&#039;s stories, and see if they keep performing at the same level. Wait until questions start to loom against Alex Rodriguez, and see if he doesn&#039;t get distracted. It&#039;s not worth it, get a speedy high OBP guy and throw him in the nine hole. Contrary to what Billy Beane says, there are other ways of scoring runs then the 3-run home run.</description>

		<description>But we don&#039;t know what the injury to Matsui is?  If it&#039;s a 2 week stint on the DL, then you don&#039;t need anyone to replace him.

I can&#039;t see the Yanks signing him since they went to the trouble of getting rid of some of the bad apples in the clubhouse (Sheffield and Johnson) over the last couple years.</description>

		<description>Sign Barry Bonds. .480 OBP last year. Fits right into the lineup. Gagne is making $10 million to lose games. Bonds can win games making the league minimum. 

International Signing Period: Does know who the Yanks should sign?</description>
