The point is however, the Yankees are now in the same boat with everyone else, not having KNOWN juicers on the team. I was tired of hearing about Clemens and syringes last year. The key is wiping the slate clean, with people that are character guys such as, CC, Tex, Swisher, Burnett, Melancon (Who is supposed to have an attitude like Jeter) etc. They should fit in well with Jeter, Mariano, and Posada, to return the Yankees to where they belong: On top.

I'm just saying Posada and Jeter are now screwed in a couple years and then we'll have to get creative to give them ABs. But of course i want the better, younger player who can actually play his position well. no i’m not saying that at all. i’m so happy about the tex signing.

That sounds like something the Seattle Mariners would do. So you are saying you would want to keep 1B and DH open for Jeter and Posada? That sounds like something the Seattle Mariners would do.

Smith has to be one of the dumbest sportswriters in the business. He was on ESPN yesterday talking about the Teixeira deal and since every one of his points was being trumped by Skip Bayless (not the best either), SAS just started screaming at him. He was yelling so loud I had to turn the volume down. The Yanks do not need Manny and all of the baggage that comes with him. Stephen A.

Both just lost their safety nets in case they stopped being able to play their respective positions. Both are aging (Posada pretty quickly behind the plate), so what will they do in a couple of years when they seemed destined to become below-average first basemen?
