Yeah, good point. Pettitte's no Chan Ho Park, or Aaron Sele, or Jorge Sosa, or Oliver Perez. Shall I go on?

[size=+2]THE CANDLE STILL BERNS
CALLS TO WILLIAMS NOT RETURNED[/size]

By GEORGE KING


NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC: While Joe Torre and Derek Jeter continue to hold out hope that Bernie Williams (right) arrives in Tampa soon, Jorge Posada (left) believes his longtime teammate and friend is through with the Bombers.February 19, 2007 -- TAMPA - Joe Torre believes he knows why Bernie Williams wasn't among the position players who reported to camp yesterday and why his career could be finished.

"I think he is hurt, I don't think there is any question," Torre said of Williams' feeling toward the Yankees not guaranteeing him a spot on the team. Williams was offered a minor-league invite and a chance to compete for a roster spot that he hasn't accepted. "He is a very proud individual. I know there are a lot of players in this clubhouse who certainly feel for Bernie. Unfortunately, it's the nature of the game and there is still business to take care of."

Asked if Williams expected a guaranteed job, Torre guessed that was the case.

"I am sure he does, this is new," Torre explained of the 38-year-old Williams trying out. "He has never had to come down and make the club."

Torre left Williams a phone message before exiting Legends Field yesterday and was hoping to hear what Williams was thinking before last night. With two first basemen, Jason Giambi as the designated hitter and Torre carrying 12 pitchers, there isn't room for Williams. However, many believe if Williams accepts the invitation and shows anything the club would clear a roster spot for the Yankee icon. They could go with Doug Mientkiewicz at first and let Josh Phelps and Andy Phillips go. That would leave utility infielder Miguel Cairo the backup first baseman.

However, it's clear Williams can't make the team from his Westchester County home.

Torre, who said "I would like to believe he will be here," reminded Williams he needs to get to camp if he wants to play. Torre planned on doing that yesterday. Yet, Torre emphasized there isn't much more he can do but lay the same situation out for Williams, who will retire or play for the Yankees.

No Sheff!!! Woooo. I don't care what some people say about him, he may get the Tigers over the St. Louis hump this year!...barring a lot of injuries and another record setting series from our pitching staff.

is it me, or is it sad that the "biggest" story out of yankee-land is that an over the hill bernie williams won't swallow his pride and take a minor league invite? boo f'ing hoo.

Does anyone know who did the Yanks get for Shef?

They got about 14 minor league pitchers.

Humberto Sanchez, (10-6 with a 2.63 ERA in AAA. Probably the only prospect that has a chance of playing in the next couple of years) Kevin Whelan (4-1 with a 2.67 ERA and 69 strikeouts in 54 innings in A) and Anthony Claggett (7-2 with a 0.91 ERA and 14 saves also in A). The Tigers were so stocked w/ pitching prospects that they could afford to give up a few. It's sad to see Sanchez go. Sounds like he's gonna be a good one. Whether the Yankees develop him or use him as future trade bait as they usually do only time will tell. It should be a good trade for both organizations though.

You're right, I'm sorry. Who am I to take shots at A-rod's masculinity? It's not like he misses sleepovers at Jeter's house, and the occasional night out on the town with him.

Oh wait, yes he does.

Yeah i thought that was quite odd. I don't even know if odd is the word for it. Is he saying he's gay? Not that that's a horrible thing but he shouldn't have said it if he's not and doesn't want to get bombarded w/ a ton of questions about it.
