Grandy Goes Grandy

In a sort of annoying game that should have been a much bigger blowout, Curtis Granderson set the tone with his first grandslam as a Yankee. Oh, to have heard John Stirling's call. His towering was supplemented by a two run shot and a three run double from Swish, and a another 2 run shot from Tex. Tex for his part was 3-4 with two walks and could finally be coming be coming out of it. Cano had three more hits and a walk. On the pitching side, Phil Hughes was not sharp and could "only" contribute a quality start of 3 runs over 6 innings. That was okay, cause the Yanks were up 12-3 at that point. Robertson came in and pitched a scoreless seventh, but then Gaudin came in and made it interesting, before finally recording the final out in a 12-7 Yankee win.

Btw, for those still missing Austin Jackson, the Yanks took two fairly similar players in Angelo Gumbs and Kevin Jordan, so try to not feel bad while Grandy keeps coming up with big hits.

CC goes tomorrow, and so do 20 more rounds of the draft. Go Yanks!

Stop the madness with Gaudin already. It was dumb to give a $2.9m contract and it was dumb to bring him back. He stinks.

Yeah, it's hard to carry both he and Mitre. I don't know what's happened to Gaudin.

I'm just happy we're in the midst of another logical draft.

Wait, we gave him $2.9 million. Oh wow, that's bad. Money better spent on IFA.

Fortunately, once they cut him at the end of ST they were only stuck paying him $700,000, plus the $700,000 they gave him when they re-signed him.

Yes, as I have said, Cash is a good GM, but he has a blindspot with relievers.

George King of the NY Post says the Yanks will make a bid for Lee and supposedly the M's want one of Montero/Romine and Eduardo Nunez.

He also stated Yankee scouts have been following the Astros looking at Berkman.

I would wait for Lee in free agency rather than giving up the young studs.
