Not sure Hal has it right |
| Yesterday, in a 3-man meeting with Girardi and Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner was quoted as stating, "This is New York and the fans deserve a team with marquee players." I hope I am misunderstanding what he said, because if not, I'm afraid he has the completely wrong approach. I was hoping we were past this with amount of freedom that was given to Brian Cashman in the last few years. His approach has focused on retaining home-grown young talent and building from within. This is a complete contrast to the George Steinbrenner approach which failed to deliver a championship between 1979 to 1995. Big name players were brought in time and time again. But exciting players did not equate to championships, and championships are what it's all about. I'll gladly take a roster with names like Scott Brosius and Chuck Knoblauch and Paul O'Neill any day. They aren't necessarily the biggest names or the guys who put up the MVP numbers each year, but they are the guys who do the things that win games and more importantly, bring world championships home. I wish Hal was more focused on the 27th championship and less worried about marquee players. Labels: Cashman, Girardi, Hall of Fame, Strategy |

Moose in the Hall? |
| As Mike Mussina approaches 260 wins, there has been the inevitable speculation about his chances of making the Hall of Fame. I'm giving Moose less than a 50% chance of making the Hall and here's why: If he hits 300 wins, he'll have a solid chance. For every win less than 300 he has after he retires, it's going to be that much harder to make the case. At the age of 39, he still has flashes of brilliance, but he also gets hit hard. This inconsistency will be the reason he won't make it. His ERA has been and will continue to be over 4.00. At his age, that's going to get worse, not better. The Yankees have the offense to carry a pitcher who can't dominate the opposing offense, but this is probably the last year he will be a Yankee. He'll probably finish the season with 265 career wins, give or take. So, in 2009, if he wants to pitch, he will be 40-years old and pitching for a team that, in all likeliness, has a much less capable offense than the Yankees. You have to ask the question - how likely is it that a 40-year old pitcher who needs 35 wins to hit the magic number for making the Hall and has an ERA north of 4 and is pitching for a team that can probably only score enough runs for him to win 8 to 10 games a year will actually win 35 games before he is just too old to pitch anymore? My guess - not very likely. I like Moose and I hope he has a chance to get a ring before he leaves the Bronx, but I just don't see him in the hall. Labels: Hall of Fame, Moose |

It's not how big you are, it's how big you play. |
| Phil Rizzuto has died today of causes yet to be reported at this moment. The 5-time all star and former MVP has his number 10 retired by the Yankees and is also a member of the Hall of Fame. He played his first game on April 14, 1941 and his final game on August 16, 1956, and every game he ever played was for the Yankees. The year after he retired from playing he became a broadcaster for the Yankees. which he did until the end of the 1996 season. He spent the better part of seven decades with the Yankees. Today Steinbrenner said of the former shortstop, "He was one of the greatest Yankees of all time and a dear, close friend of mine whose loss is enormous to me and to the entire Yankee family. He epitomized the Yankee spirit -- gritty and hard charging -- and he wore the pinstripes proudly. While Scooter may have been smaller in size than some, he was among the tallest in his stature as a Yankee." When asked about Rizzuto's life, Derek Jeter said about the 5'6", 160-pound shortstop, "It's not how big you are, it's how big you play" Labels: Hall of Fame, Legends, Scooter |
