Remember, this guy has playing in the worst hitters ballpark in the AL, with no protection around him for the past three years. He would crush at Yankees stadium, surrounded by great hitters. Start him at DH v. righties - bat him 7th. Give him 450 abs, will give you 30 hrs, .260 ba, .400 obp at yankees stadium. He will be a much younger 31 during 2010, unlike the other DH's available, including Matsui, VLAD, Haeffner, etc. He also could be had for under 4 million. I think its a no-brainer.

Delgado's political beliefs are a red-herring compared to his undermining of Willie. A rotating DH is a much better result than letting this guy near the Yankee clubhouse Ask Willie Randolph about Delgado.

As a trained historian, I can ascertain that in 2006 Delgado was still a member of the Mets, so it is certainly possible that he chose to channel his efforts in another manner. One that involved significant involvement in charity work. Fire up the google, I think that Roberto Clemente would be proud of the work that Carlos is doing in their native Puerto Rico.

I guess you missed the part where Giambi's agent had Cash take the PED indemnity out of his contract as a condition of signing. That could have been seen as a major red flag, but they chose to sign him to a seven year commitment anyway. How naive.

"It is possible and probable that he chose to express his displeasure in another manner." Yeah, he did. He cashed his $18 million dollar checks in NY instead of Miami. Carlos is no freedom fighter. He is no Roberto Clemente. He is a fraud, a probable cheater, and a definite old and frequently injured hobbled shell of his former self.
