Fair enough....can't respond fully, on my phone but all about getting to the playoffs hot. Gotta have people come back though.
Something we can all agree on.....Derek fucking Jeter. 17 seasons of 150 hits. Only other player to do that in history is the one and only Henry Aaron. Derek Jeter, ladies and gentleman.
Congrats to Derek Jeter. Number 2 will be retired the day he sits down.

That's interesting. :?: :!: I guess when the numbers are all shaken out at the end of the day it would be hard to not say that. Wow...what a question to ponder on a Sunday! :fp:
Have fun pondering about that question today as you watch the game!

There are 3 in the next bunch that you could make a case for any of them to be in the top 5 and I really have no idea how you can rank these 3. Whitey, Yogi and Mo.
In the next bunch after that, DS will have a conniption, but you have to include Arod. That group is Arod, Reggie and Dickey, I would think. Arod is the best out of that bunch by a long shot. If Arod played his whole career with the Yankees, this exercise would be much tougher.
And think about this. The current Yankees infield. Between Arod, Jeter and Cano, I would say we are watching the best 3rd baseman, shortstop and 2nd baseman in Yankees history on the same team.

For me, it's between Jeter and Yogi to round out the top 5. Yogi solely for his 10 WS titles.

replace jeter with mo and you have my top 5. i have jeter at 6, and mo making the top 5 because he is the most dominate player to ever play his position in baseball history.

So, how many MILLIONS are the Yankees paying Derek Lowe to be a middle-relief pitcher?
Since Cleveland is on the hook for his whole salary, the Yankees are paying the pro rated league minimum, which with about 30% of the season remaining comes to about $144,000. So yeah

WOW!! how did they swing that deal?(I've been following the Olympics the last 2 weeks)

Trade?
Nah, he was released and cleared waivers so Cleveland was on the hook for everything left. He said he talked to a few teams but the Yankees came in and signed him. Since Cleveland is on the hook for the rest of the $15 mil, they got him for nothing.
