I can sense something happening, not the usual ST optimism

    I can live with either choice - keep him on the team if the Yanks could "guarantee" him at least 350-400 ABs or so as a DH/ backup 1b, or send him down for ONE more year of seasoning.
    I think the main issues with him not being kept on the team as a part time DH/1b is they would prefer a "veteran" (Jones) getting limited ABs and they want to reserve DH options to give Beltran occasional ABs at DH (to help keep him fresh)....and of course, unfortunately, also Arod if he's still "around" and able to contribute.

    There's no way they'd be able to get him 350-400 ABs as a back up.

    Grow up and get a fkng life man/boy/kid, whatever the fk you are. Some men no matter there age, just never graduate beyond childhood, and its apparent in your speech pattern's, we've noticed since you came onto this board, and stunk it up to high hell....! You can't take one gram of constructive criticism, to help yourself become diplomatic, or even a kind person towards anyone here. let alone make much sense on any topic esp the Yanx....!

    Obviously you remind me of too many kids in grade school, who go around picking on others for attention, until one of those you've picked on gets fed up, and obliterates you, knocking you on your lame ass. Then when you come too; you get up to become even more of a flaming pain in everyone's ass.........spewing more hate, discontent, and pure lack of self worth. Dude you need to consider seeing a Shrink, maybe admit yourself to Bellevue wacky ward.:evilfire:

    You should consider using this :evilfire: as your avatar. But then I doubt you can figure out how to create your Avatar, without Daddy's help, so "who is your daddy" The Bosox?

    You bombast all others, when YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY PROBLEM I SEE ON THIS BOARD.....!

    Vic if you're seeing this it may be time to put a lock on it. Just a suggestion.

    In the dictionary under the word REDUNDANT it can't say......."See Redundant".

    Thanks Rick, I feel the same.....;

    From a previous thread to this post: The Definition of "The Voice of Reason", here's a Dictionary's explanation of such, and YEP, this has become REDUNDANT..........on most posts, by blg, he always, I mean ALWAYS, has to flame someone, with sarcastic quips, childish to say the least........

    "The voice of reason"- The annoying know-it-all person on a show that won't shut up about being right. Usally the smartest person of the show, that is always right and is the balance so the show won't look senseless...

    Wow, lol....almost 200 words (profanity included) of a very personal, nasty, negative insulting analysis of me regarding discussions, debates and opinions about BASEBALL.

    Okay, now its my turn.
    May I remind you I started this thread based on my positive opinion of this new crop of Yankee prospects (post #1) and in that post I acknowledged it was very early in ST and I never said or expected most or all of those young prospects to make the team....
    ...I did say this: "If, when, possibly, the Yanks can soon work in one or two young pitchers for the SP, I see a Yankee resurgence.....very soon".

    So when a poster (# 120) found it necessary to point out two prospects - Judge and Cave were sent back to the minors it implied that I WAS expecting them to make the team and was putting the emphasis on their early ST performance determining what kind of players they will eventually become.

    It looked to me as being sort of a cheap shot attempting to make me look silly.
    But that's okay because I had my chance to respond (post # 123).

    Do you have any idea how many snide personal comments and insults you have directed at me?

    YOU seem to be the one obsessed and angry with someone (me) merely over a couple of opinions you disagree with regarding Cashman, Arod, and "approx" how many games I think the Yanks will win this year.

    This hatred you have for Arod is kinda unhealthy, I'm almost (not quite) at the point where I hope Arod can't do it anymore and retires or gets released by the Yanks just so you won't go crazy or throw furniture around. Lmao.

    Oh, one last thing,
    I really find your little speeches about the Dodgers, getting autographs
    and places where you lived-- very often "off topic" and boringly irrelevant.

    Keep up the good work and have a great day.

    ...unfortunately, I don't think that simply locking a thread is going to accomplish anything...I mean, it hasn't yet. (4-5 times)

    What the heck?
    I wasn't/shouldn't be entitled to respond to that vicious ugly personal attack "post"#143?
    Honestly, from my point of view, there's been quite a bit of piling on, exaggeration, over reaction and double standards being practiced.

    As I've said other times, I enjoy the "give and take" discussions.....but being criticized just because of having a small minority opinion on a couple of issues is another matter.
    Maybe THIS explains some of this "redundancy" stuff?

    Anyway, I got the message - I'll play ball. lol

    I really don't want to keep having to lock threads. I think we're all adult enough to just move on. Will be more to talk about when the season gets under way.

    Gee whiz, sorry you feel that way......
    ......but cheer up - speaking of baseball gurus, now that Arod should be crumbling any day now in ST, I guess I should also realize the Yankees will be lucky to win 82 games.
