This Week on the Blog

Things are getting interesting with all four of our teams.   Finally.  And it's week for all four, and thus probably a big week around here.   Let's take a look.

Yankees: I don't know about the rest of you, but I've really been interested in the reorganiation of their basball operations.   We saw the announcements of the AAA and AA coaching staffs this week, with several changes.  So more announcements are probably on the way.   Also, and more importantly, the Pitching Yoan has been cleared by the Foreign Assett Control people and the Yanks or any other team can sign him now.  But it should be the Yanks.   He's 21 and thus falls under the IFA rules, and the Yanks won't be able to splurge on another young IFA pitcher till `17.  Get er done!
Also, they shouldn't trade the new pieces they've acquired for Cole Hamels.

Rangers: The Rangers have to keep rolling.  They need to bring what they've been bringing against the Sharks tonight, because things won't get much easier hereafter.   Trade season isn't in full bore, yet in the NHL, and I doubt the Rangers will get it started while they're rolling as they are.  Need to get Stepan on the scoresheet again.

Giants: Huge week for the Giants, and they will continue candidates for their vacant Defensive Coordinator post.  Also, there could be more changes, as the reviews had not been completed when they let Fewell and Giunta go the other day.  We'll see how it shakes out.

Knicks: Hey, the Knicks made a trade.  Time to make some more.   Also, looks like they might put two of the scrubs they cut after the trade on the 10 day contract plan.

So, the Rangers are playing well, and the other teams are trying to solve their problems.  Should be a great week, and I hope it is for each of you.
