Like we should have locked Pettitte up in spring training, we should lock Matsui up in spring training.
He wants to come back. So, bring him back. For me, Matsui is pretty much everything you’d want. Dignified, intelligent, talented (he can hit and field), durable. I love the guy.

This applies to the Yankees, for me. When Posada is at catcher, Bernie is in center and, especially, Jeter is at short stop… something just feels right. Call it what you will, but I like it.
Let’s take a look here…
Cashman answered this well:
“He had a chance to be a Yankee last year and he chose to go to San Diego,” Cashman said of Wells.
Joe Torre is one of the most respected managers in baseball, I think most will agree. If you have a problem with Joe Torre, chances are you are the problem.
Speaking of that inherited team, Joe has been at it for 9 years. Wells was on the team for 4 of those years. Those teams? 1 WS win, 2 appearances. The other 5 years? 3 WS wins, 4 appearances. Coincidence? Probably, but I’m just saying…
“He was talking like he’d won three or four rings with them, when he hadn’t,” Wells said. “And that kind of disturbed me, because I would never put myself in that situation. … He shouldn’t put himself in that category. You gotta earn it.”
He can say we because he is part of the current “we”.
“Last year, I probably had the best ovation I’ve ever had in my life,” Wells said of his return to New York with San Diego. “To get a two-three minute standing ovation, was awesome. … They don’t forget and that’s what’s so good about New York. They remember, and hopefully just because I’m putting on a Red Sox jersey, they don’t think I’m a traitor of any sort.”
I didn’t really like you when you were a Yankee, but … if you start hitting Yankees, those people who did like you may just start to turn…

In a brand new article, SI.com’s Tom Verducci calls Yankee Stadium, “The House that ‘Roids Built”.
I wonder if he meant it as bad as it sounds. As if to chalk up the Yankees success to steroids…
Good article by MLB reliever Todd Jones.
Right on.
Dan Marino is going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 7.
Congrats.
I always liked him and was disappointed to see him go. Cash has confirmed that negotiations are taking place.
The real question is where in the world he would fit in. I love depth though, so if he wants to be in the minors or whatever and wait until a guy or two gets injured, that’s fine with me.

I push my roster toward the Minnesota Vikings.
And I tell them to take any two Dolphins they want in exchange for Randy Moss.
Best offensive player (Chris Chambers) and best defensive player (Patrick Surtain)?
Sure, no problem.
Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor?
Here you go.
And if the Vikings want any one of those players and the No. 2 overall pick in the flimsy upcoming draft, I give them that, too.
I’m not all that convinced. Although, it is certainly interesting. I don’t care for Moss’ attutude. So, that’s the first thing. But, I might be able to get over that. However, I don’t want to give up Chambers and Surtain for him. I don’t want to give up Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor for him. I don’t want to give up the number 2 pick for him. But, if the opportunity was right… who knows.

Just caught an interesting piece by Joel Sherman of the New York Post:
A more serious consideration of a new job would have been necessary, except an AL executive said this yesterday: “If the Astros are a non-contender in July, I would put it at 80 percent that Clemens would be a Yankee or a Red Sox. The reality is those are the only two places he would consider going.”
Seems like just something fun to talk about, at this point, but I sure wouldn’t mind it, assuming the price was right.
