Bad Loss. but I told you so!

Goes to show George that you don't always have to have a team full of all-stars to win.

No, we don't need an All-Star team to win, but let's get a grip. We've lost two star outfielders - Matsui and Sheffield - and replaced them with Damon, who's got a broken toe...Bubba, who's on the DL...Melky, who's playing great right now but is still learning...Bernie, who's past his prime and shouldn't be playing as much as he is... T-Long, who basically sucks...and Kevin Thompson, who is an unknown quantity in the bigs. Are we really comfortable with that? Seriously? Wouldn't it be great to inject just one player with proven abilities both in the field and in the batter's box? I'd love to see if Thompson's got the goods and Melky stays the course. But if not, we have to look at other players. Winning the series against the Tigers was major - especially because the wins came from good pitching, timely hitting, and aggressive baserunning. But I'm thinking long haul and I'm wondering if we've got enough.

Cabrera will never hit for as much power as Matsui or Sheff I expect when he matures 15 homer and 40 double power. I am perfectly fine with our outfield the way it is. We should save all our trading chips in case a good pitcher comes on the market. To look at the brightside an outfield of Damon Melky and Thompson will get to anything in the air.

The outfield situation is a mess, and it's definitely taken a toll on the Yankees offense.

But I'd rather patch to gather a line up until there is better sense of how long Sheff is out for and put getting a starter as the first priority.

I get the feeling the lil Livian Hernandez may be pitching in pinstripes before the season's over.

I personally dont want Livan Hernandez

The outfield isnt hurting our offense. We are currently the best offense in baseball and Melky and Bernie have a lot to do with that. Long is really nothing special though.

I was pissed to hear that the Angels signed Kelvim Escobar to a 3 yr deal one more solid pitcher now unavailable.

where you are coming from there are real slim pickings this year with pitchers who may be available.

i agree with the idea of just leaving the outfield as is -- like several here have said, nothing wrong with Melky-Damon-Thompson.  but the starting pitching is what is really scary at this point -- beyond Moose, there's virtually no one that can be counted on.  that means we're short at least two solid starters.  as much as i hate to say it, we really REALLY need Johnson to come around.  and i still haven't given up hope -- in fact, i was thinking the other day in Detroit when Good Randy showed up, the temperature was in the 90's.  and that's the first time he's pitched (other than indoors) when the temperature wasn't in the 60's.  now last year we heard a lot about him needing warm weather to really get going -- and sure enough, that's exactly what happened.  why aren't we hearing that same thing this year?  i can hope, can't i? :)

The great "ace" Carl Pavano will be back in August.  He will take care of all the problems the Yanks have been having.  so far, the Yanks have paid $10 million for each win he has.

I think the only one that they think of trading would be Kerry Wood. Zambrano is cheap, young and healthy and is all but untouchable. Prior is so talented that  I think they keep him too.

if you have the power to do that, you should use your magical powers instead then to get Santana from the Twins.
