Centerpiece for Greinke, make it happen.
Haha. I know Dayton Moore isn’t known for making good decisions but…
Kenny Williams is smarter than Moore, and he decided to trade Nick Swisher and Kanekoa Texeira to the Yankees for Wilson Betemit, Jeff Marquez, and Jhony Nunez.
Then again, Jack Zduriencik picked Justin Smoak over Jesus Montero.
I’ve given up predicting trades.
Greinke doesn’t want to play in NY.
With 6 starters, we will only need him for away games
I laughed
Dave Adams? The broken ankle that cost the Yankees a World Championship.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
f………………..y……………sorry could not resist. hey, why didnt u hold an umbrella next to mrs. lee.
Writing ability = thinking bility
So trade Laird ASAP or wait and see if his value can go up (or at least stay constant) before the trade deadline?
Bleich and that shoulder…hope he gets right after that. Shoulders are hard to come back from
I look at the 106 games played in 2010 by Huffman, Kearns, Nunez, and Russo and picture Laird getting that time in 2012 at 3B and the OF…………NICE!!!
