This Week on the Blog
Rangers: The Rangers are in an offensive slump. Nash has been cold for awhile, as has Stepan and even Brassard. Those three have to score, or it's just too much work for the others. Still a little curious that they haven't called up anyone for Klein or MSL, but that may be do to move limits rather than cap stuff. There's a rumor they only have 2 moves left and they are saving them for emergencies. Could also sign some amateurs this week.
Yanks: Hopefully the Yanks are waiting on the disposition of the two Cuban pitchers. With the big team, Ellsbury is hurt again - though I'm still assured he's not injury prone. Slade Heathcott has looked like a perfect replacement should Ellsbury miss the first few games, but Slade's not on the 40. They should probably correct that ASAP, because even if Jacoby comes back, we will have OF injuries and a need for Slade this year. Most of the pitching still looks good.
Giants: Giants had a much better second week in UFA; and solidified the DL. Now they need to sign a safety or two and they will be fullly scotch-guarded for the draft. Jerry Reese and Marc Ross will continue their tour of pro-days and kids will also come in for visits. Oh, and I think the veteran combine starts tomorrow. The Giants will probably be there.
Knicks: The Knicks are sort of fun to watch for a tanking team, but it's crucial that they stop winning. Galloway and Shved are looking like they could be pieces of the new and nice next year.
In all, could be an interest week or just the set up for more interest times down the pipe. I hope all of you have great weeks.

Mara says he wants to extend Eli but only at the "right price. The problem is that the price is probably only going up with each extension to a top QB.
It's not Eli's fault the GM has shitted the bed in rebuilding the OL.
They don't really have any impetus to extend Eli now because there's nothing else out there for which they'd need cap room.
The Giants will have a ton of cap room next offseason and may want tp front load Eli, JPP and Prince into that, as they get ready to lock up OBJ in a few years.
As I suggested, the impetus would be paying less before further QB contract inflation. It doesn't seem like he is willing to give a Brady-esque discount, and that's not a criticism.
Of three, however, I think JPP is least likely, largely because I think he has a ton to prove.
This is what I mean:

Eli's new deal will be based on Big Ben's, Nothing new will force it up.
I don't believe that, but we'll see.
That, of course, assumes it is done after the start of the upcoming season.
It's hard to view Coughlin as a young 69 year old after his Siri comments.
Yeah, they're funny, but really, technology isn't that hard to understand.
