I sat my wife down, and played every Dibitetto Yankee Video found on YouTube.....(smart TV, streaming) we both laughed so hard, it felt like the first time one listen's to "Big Bambú".... take your fkng bandaids...LOL... Ya' think Vic could be an aide to Tadpole???
I think he averaged about 110 games a year as a Yankee...his slash line as a Yankee is .249 .345 .481 .826 ...sorry, but I don't consider that a good return for $22 Mil a year for 8 years, regardless of how good his defense was.
lol, Creech and Chong - dopey California hippies..... Vic is a totally different animal....Brooklyn boy. He just goes into his backyard has a beer smokes a joint without making it some kind of religious experience or "federal case".
one of Trashman's biggest follies in more way than one-IMO; other than #13's horror story, no Yanx fan should of ever had to endure.... We could of had Trout in lieu of Tex....
...^^^Matts, I'm not sure but the story as I remember it was that the Yanx had Trout in their sights during that draft but the Angels snapped him up one pick ahead of the Yanx.
...^^^ this is what I was referring too, and should of clarified, tho' its a bit of a brain twister to me this am. The many odd ball rules of Drafting, moving picks around, trading this guy for that, and this, throw in Free Agency, then Rule 4's, and this old man's head gets to spinning....if this is any Indica-tion of the state I'm in......"oh you don't know the shape I'm in"..... It has been subsequently documented in interviews with Eddie Bane that the Angels had their sites squarely set on Trout all the way and took Grichuk ahead of him to assist in leveraging his asking price in case he asked them what they believed him to be worth. It turned out he was an easy sign. The Angels had the #25 pick and right after selecting Grichuk they selected Trout with that pick. This pick was awarded to them because the Yankees had signed Mark Teixeira. If the Angels had re-signed K-Rod and Teix, the Mets or Yankees surely would have drafted Trout. Wouldn't they have? http://www.halosheaven.com/2012/6/25/3111972/mike-trout-drafted-by-angels-after-21-teams-passed these 2 articles are pretty interesting too: http://www.halosheaven.com/2012/6/25/3111972/mike-trout-drafted-by-angels-after-21-teams-passed http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/lis...ie-bradley-palmeiro/l1ynke69z0s31qpu5nkowoq3u
