BRIAN ROBERTS...I guess I'm most pleased with this off season acquisition.
ReplyDeleteI know he was injured, but people do get well again.
Roberts, a favorite of mine, is a blue collar, dirty uniform, in your face...player.
A wonderful player for Baltimore. He played well when he returned last year.
Players with character, that's what the Yankees say they always want.
Well, you have one...in Brian Roberts. A great move getting him.
The Yankees need to get a position player from the Blue Jays now. That way they'll have signed somebody well known from every AL East team.
ReplyDeleteAs long as his name is Brett Lawrie I am there Jack...
