    Very surprised to see him get that low percentage.

    It's a little lower than I would have expected and disappointing since he is now off the ballot, but Bernie to me was always the Hall of Very Good. That group of players that is just a step down from Cooperstown.

    His comparable batters on Baseball Reference aren't too flattering for Hall of Fame credentials

    Hopefully the team gets off their asses and retires his number. Unless they are waiting for Jeter, Rivera and Pettitte to retire and along with Posada that would make one hell of a ceremony.

    "We've signed three or four of the biggest free agents on the market. We're pretty happy with that," Steinbrenner said. "It's great to have Andy [Pettitte] back and [Hiroki] Kuroda and Ichiro [Suzuki]. [Kevin] Youkilis, I'm excited about."

    There are reports that these motherfuckers are willing to meet the asking price for Upton but are not willing to pay him 38 fucking millions dollars over 3 years.
