Culver blows, he will never hit enough to be a starter, just think we could've had taijiuan walker who went 43rd that draft. Anyway not complaining Oppenheimer did a great job overall with that draft

Yeah, I have never liked the Culver pick, never understood it. I can't wait for some of these other kids to start getting closer though.

Yanks have a lot of picks this year too.
From what I've read it's not the strongest class but at least we have a bunch of early rounders.
Mark Teixeira says his eight-year, $180 million contract is too much.
"I have no problem with anybody in New York, any fan, saying, 'You're overpaid.' Because I am," Teixeira told the Wall Street Journal. "We all are.
Agents are probably going to hate me for saying it. You're not very valuable when you're making $20 million. When you're Mike Trout making the minimum, you are crazy valuable. My first six years, before I was a free agent, I was very valuable. But there's nothing you can do that can justify a $20 million [per year] contract."
Teixeira, 32, also went on to temper any expectations that he could be the one to pick up the slack from the production the Yankees have seemingly lost this offseason.
"Maybe I'm slowing down a tick. Look, I'm not going to play forever. Eventually you start, I don't want to say declining, but it gets harder and harder to put up 30 [homers] and 100 [RBI]," said Teixeira, who is entering his fifth year as a Yankee.
He said he isn't going to do anything differently this season. Last winter, he spoke about bunting and going the other way. By the end of the 2012 season, he said he was only kidding about the bunting part and abandoned the new all-fields approach after struggling early. He finished at .251 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs in 123 games.
That article is such a tug of war on a Yankee fan.
I gotta agree with him, and it sucks to hear him say those things and confirm that he's having major doubts. I Like Tex and the fact that he seems to work hard..
I always wonder how hard it would be to forget the fact that you make like 50K or more in a single At-bat. That would fuck with me head a little.
And I think 20 million per year is ludicrous, but if fans are paying to see them and they are a handful of entertainers out of a population of 300 million+...

Jesus only 32 and you're slowing down, what does that say about cano's upcoming free agency :fp:
Good, glad to see a pro athlete admit he's over paid. However, he suffered the injuries in August/September, maybe he knows something, maybe he's not healthy.
Maybe he's talking about his career left and the numbers in order to jedi mind trick his mind, lower expectations equals less pressure and generally better results. I sure hope so,
Bottom line, he needs to put the ball in play, regardless of its a monster shit to right field, he talked about bunting last year at this time, he probably won't again this year but he should.
Show the teams that you'll push one to left and maybe teams won't shift, maybe then you can hit the alleys in right field again.
Man I hope JEET is good to go.
I love that man, I'm a believer he will pass Pete Rose. All my buddies tell me I'm crazy
With the ankle now I'm not sure but I still think he'll pass Musial. I just hope that idiot Cashman doesn't get involved again, Jeter runs that team not him

He's the man.. I really hope he's back to regular form or close.
his hit total will get interesting for sure.
170 hits for 8 more years. That was my math at the start of 2011
Love him, but No way. Unless They trade him to the Marlins when he's 47
Have a look at Roses numbers at Jeet's age. You'll see
Rose only had one season after 40 where he got 170 hits... then it was all downhill from there on out.
Rose hits:
185 (39 yrs old)
140 (40 yrs old)
172 (41 yrs old)
...then his numbers fell off fast. trust me, I wish Jeter had a shot, but I doubt it... but it will still be interesting.
I just wish they could find a way to void A-Rod's contract and send him on his merry way.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

JEET is technically 10th right now. Cap Anson has an asterisk, bunch of his hits are questionable. Years ago they considered a walk as a hit.
Really like the Yankees showing in Keith Law's farm rankings and top prospects. Overall ranking of 10 and 5 top 100 prospects. This is good news, especially with 3 top 35 picks this year. Love what he had to say about Sanchez.

The way JEET is he probably isn't worried about it. He's just good enough and will play long enough to get the hits.
A -rod won't play again. They will find a way, or Miami will get him. Loria is dumb enough to trade for him

Good sign for this cat.
Just a few more days....
Saw that. What a disaster of a situation this is going to be. A lot of names connected to some random lists and no one is going to know anything
So is Cervelli.
It was in the daily news.
