$3 Million Kept Us From Having Shin-Soo Choo

The Yankees have to be kidding me right now. The Yankees were willing to go seven years and $140 million on OBP King Shin Soo Choo and let him walk over $3 million? I can see ending a deal over years, see Robinson Cano and Omar Infante for great examples of letting guys go elsewhere for too many years, but not $3 million. The YES Network probably makes $3 million between the hours of midnight and 2:00 pm ET, obviously sarcasm but you get my point. The Yankees were angered because Scott Boras asked for $3 million more and instead turned their attention to Carlos Beltran and again this is after they had signed Jacoby Ellsbury. I don't get it, oh well. There is still time.

  1. This fits the pattern of Boras, specially with the Yankees! He keeps doing the same thing after a deal is done, he comes back with another amount he wants! Me thinks the old trick has had its day. It use to work because it is a simple ploy...he knows you want the player so, he will jack the price a bit more every time, figuring you will take it after you have gone that high with your offer! Really what is a $m or two at that stage of the game, well that also is simple...it is not the way one Honest person does business.
    One makes a deal and sticks to it, in the old days he could get away with it but, now days there is much more money involved and the $3m given to one player is $3m they don't have for another.
    Besides, as far as I am concerned, Choo was a WANT not a NEED.
    We have other NEEDS right now, we can use that money to address those needs!

  2. I hear thing also, Mr. Nitkowski.........you heard what, from who ?

    Maybe he heard it from the guy in the bagel store ? The guy pumping gas on Route 95 ?
    He won't tell. Who cares, really ?
    All of us do our homework. We read, search, and digest baseball. That line was not out there.
    I think I've heard his name before. Meaningless.
    I heard Choo wanted a Chevy Volt, and the Yankees were angered.

  3. A-ROD....I have come full circle on Alex.

    Everyone else seems to be getting a pass. So why not him ? Right, Big Popi...user. And the rest.
    Useless to rehash this bowl of mashed crap. Again, meaningless. ( never used that word until tonight )

    Bottom line, cowgirls....ALEX RODRIQUEZ, IS FAR, AND AWAY THE BEST OPTION OUT THERE.
    NO OTHER INFIELDER ON THE MARKET COMES CLOSE TO HIM. DO YOU WANT TO WIN !
    PENCIL IN OUR NEW LINE UP, WITH HIM IN IT...............DO YOU NOT SEE IT ?

    Fix the pitching...Once more....FIX THE PITCHING ! The pitching will lead the Yankees out
    of this darkness. Fix it.
