Great way ...Daniel...I read that this morning also.<br />Great way to start the day. They can always ask him ?

As a <br />player, and as the quality type of person that he is. ...b) One year would be fine.<br />You may have Alex back in 2015.patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-89031465964529616242014-01-27T10:53:59.570-05:002014-01-27T10:53:59.570-05:00He hasn't made an All Star team in three years...He hasn't made an All Star team in three years, that batting title was eight years ago, that Gold Glove was five years ago, the majority of those hits came between 2003 and 2007, run totals are a product of those around you and not directly indicative of a player's abilities, and he's more of a .280 hitter these days than a .300 hitter like six years ago.<br /><br />And the fact he's younger than ARod and Derek is not something to feel great about. <br /><br />He'd make a fine addition to the team this season if he comes relatively cheap, but let's not go too far here.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-6159458954049686522014-01-27T06:12:59.550-05:002014-01-27T06:12:59.550-05:00Young has said if he didn't retire he would on...Young has said if he didn't retire he would only play for the Dodgers....

The other day...Let's tilt at another windmill.<br /><br />The other day FOX became 80% partners in the YES network.<br />Do you know what that means to the Yankees ? An additional $150 million a year !<br />Nice pocket change. And, just a bit of that can fix an infield need.....third base.<br />Yes, The Yankees have some new 'competent' fill-ins....but not a starting third baseman. <br /><br />Michael Young, free agent. To me, the perfect fit....Remember that new found pocket change ?<br />He is healthy. He wants to play another year. And, he adds character, and grit.<br />The below lines were lifted from a Texas Ranger management quote.<br />*****<br /> "Seven All-Star games, one batting title, a Gold Glove, 2,375 career hits, 1,919 runs, a .300 batting average. And here's another way in which he's not like his old teammate A-Rod: If Young does get some support for the Hall of Fame one day it will be because of the voter instruction to consider "integrity, sportsmanship, character," .............etc.<br />*****<br />He's 37...Younger than Alex. Younger than Derick. And better than what they have now.<br />What a vibrant, and strong acquisition to this 2014 squad he would be.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.com
