Three more in pinstripes |
It is becoming increasingly likely that there will be three more players wearing pinstripes next year who, up until recent weeks and months, doubts as to each of their futures was prevalent. Starting from most likely to appear in pinstripes and working down, they are:
Carl Pavano - Despite efforts by Cahsman, it apparently has not been easy to trade him. I'm sure other teams are not willing to take on the entire $10 mil/year owed to him, and are barely willing to give anyone in return. At this point, I'm thinking it's better to just give him his fair share of starts and see what he can do. As a #5 starter, he doesn't have to win 80% of his games. I'm thinking if the guy can post an ERA around 4.50, he'll probably win 55% of his games with the Yankee bats backing him up, and that would be great for a #5. One thing is for sure - he will be facing a lot of boos when he first steps up on the mound and will have to earn back the respect of the fans and his teammates if he is to remain in the Bronx.
Roger Clemens - Plain and simple, Roger wants to pitch again. And if Roger wants to pitch, it is safe to say that Roger will pitch. There will be no shortage of teams willing to sign him, so it then becomes a matter of where does Roger want to pitch? Being a competitor, it is no surprise that he wants to pitch in the postseason. Furthermore, he doesn't just want to make the playoffs, he wants a ring. While the Yanks are certainly experts in making the playoffs, recent years have proven they are anything but a lock for another ring. However, I'd still say the chances he will be in pinstripes ate better than 50-50.
Bernie - The Yanks have invited Bernie to spring training and have officially offered him a minor league contract. Although there was speculation that he may turn down the offer and consider it an insult, he is reportedly seriously considering the offer. While there is disagreement as to whether or not the Yanks should sign him, there is not one Yankee fan alive who doesn't want to see him have a spectacular year and earn a spot in the outfield. What Yankee fan wouldn't want to see #51 have a couple of big hits in the 2007 postseason?Labels: Bernie, Clemens, Pavano |

My comments will be brief:
(1) Pavano, at age 31, will have hopefully matured by now and will realize that his future is being squandered by his foolish off-field behavior. It's time to grow up. We may be pleasently surprised with him this year.
(2) Sure, any team would love to have Roger in their rotation; but who needs this elitist behavior. If he wants to pitch in the bigs, then cut the "conditions" crap!
(3) I'll say it again-- Bernie is the definition of class and he, therefore, ought to hang'em up and go out leaving only those great memories for us to savor.
