This Week on the Blog

Alright, this past week so the Giants conclude their Spring activities and the Yanks continue their uneven play.  While the Giants might not do anything this week, our other three teams are up to big things.

Yanks: The Yanks will continue their inconsistent ways, but hopefully Pinder is ready to be their righty in the pen.  Down on the Farm,  they may or may not continue signing picks or they may push some of them to the deadline.   But, their last three affiliatates, GCL Yanks 1 and 2, as well as the all new Pulaski Yanks, will begin their seasons.  That's means we will see Dermis Garcia and some of the other 2014 IFA class, as well as new Yanks like Drew Finley and Donny Sands.  We'll begin to see just how big a transfusion of talent they've added since last year.

Rangers:  The Ranger will start their draft.  Thus far, they don't have a first round pick, but that doesn't mean they won't have one, as Cam Talbot and more could be on the market.  I'll finally get into my offseason thoughts this week.

Knicks: the Knicks will start shaping their future as they either make or trade the #4 pick in the draft. What's more, cap room and trade exceptions could and should allow them to add more picks even if they make the #4 pick, so it's not an either or situation.  They may have to take on some contracts to facilitate those deals, but being able to the #4 pick plus one or two others would be big.  As it stands they should take whichever one of the top 4 falls.

Giants:  The Giants will probably chill, though they could still make some fringe roster moves or sign  an extra tackle.  They might even use this time to work on their cap and set up their near to mid term cap situation.

So, it will be a really interesting weeks as Yankee kids debut, and the Rangers and Knicks look to add kids and get closer to their goals.   Hope all of you have great weeks.

In addition to taking the true BPA at 4, I want them to save significant cap room for 2016.

At some point, the incompetence could be so great that I may never watch another Knick game:

More specifically, I have lived without watching many Knick games for a good part of the last 15 years. If Jackson's thinking echos this clown's, and they think by being smarter than everyone else they can go need over talent, then really, who cares? Nothing will have changed.

Is a proactive firing possible?

@MySportsLegion: The Pistons and Knicks have had preliminary discussions about a trade which would send pick #4 to Detroit, per source.

Seriously, I want to be able to apologize for my building anger after Thursday because I feel something really stupid in the works.

(Sorry for making this my Knick vent thread.)

I am convinced the Knicks exist solely to make the Yankees look good by comparison.
