This Week on the Blog
Whether we like it or not, this week will be more eventful, starting with the Giants.
Giants: On Monday, the Giants have to either sign JPP, franchise him, or get ready to lose him in free agency. That's the deadline for tagging players. What's more they still have to find more cap room, and could start looking at cut players from around the league like Anthony Fasano, Barry Cofield and Reggie Bush to start addressing their plethora of needs before the regular free agency period starts.
Rangers: The NHL trade deadline passes at 5PM on Monday. Since the Rangers ALWAYS make trades, my hope is simply that they are a better team Monday night than they are right now. I'm handing it over to the hockey gods for there with one proviso: if MZA is traded it has to be for or part of a BIG IMPROVEMENT.
Knicks: The Knicks and all of us will continue to mourn Anthony Mason -- the last Knick who wasn't on some level -- a pussy. Phil Jackson either will or won't continue his scouting trip with an eye on getting more picks (which a genius should be able to do).
Yanks: The Yankees, such as they are, will continue working against their own best long term baseball needs and putting brand first. Also, they will start playing preseason games, so it's a good time to see th kids before they get sent down -- if you can even stomach watching the Yanks for awhile.
So it will be an eventful week, whether or not those events will please us is anyone's guess. I hope it's a great one for each of you.

Towns is really interesting. I would have no issue drafting him.y
I am one of the minority I guess that expect the Yankees will do well this year. We lost the whole middle of our batting order, 4 out of 5 starting pitchers and had to contend with the Jeter retirement (well deserved)last year. We still contended until Septemberish...With a team back in tack, no pressure and the injury bug not likely to hit us as hard this year, we will content for a title. Tex, Beltran and ARod will have good years.
Turn back the clock five years and they're golden.
Can't wait to see who we get in FA? Phil how active do you see us being in this market?
Probably not as active as we were last year with big names, but probably a bunch of smaller signings.
i hope at least one OL of note. I m hoping that somehow Cooper slips to 9 😊
Lionhart,
At this point, I can only assume there will be multiple injuries due to the roster's age + tougher drug testing in general. Hopefully it means some prospects get some significant playing time.
As an Alabama alumnus, I'd love for Cooper to fall to No. 9. Don't see it happening, though. :-\
I was never high on the Russell Martin I saw play on the Yankees, in large part because he was so feast or famine, trying to mash the ball into the seats every time up, irrespective of the game situation, the count, the pitcher, whatever.
And to be honest, I resented that the Yankees seemed to give him the C slot and not give Montero even a small chance.
So I have pretty much dismissed his improvement over the last couple of season.
After reading this article, it now appears that he getss "it." That using the whole field is the right approach.

I wish McCann and Tex would get that too.
HR are great (Cashman trolling about fans hating HR notwithstanding).
But context is more important, whether or not Cashman understands that anymore.
So good for Martin.
