Thank You Johnny Damon

I had mixed feeling when Johnny Damon signed with the Yankees 4 years ago.

But after watching him play for the last 4 seasons I really got to like him. And it seems he wanted to stay. But is it the money or the one year contract they wanted to give him? Anyway.. as the Yankees this week gave Randy Winn a one year 2 million dollar contract Johnnys days in pinstripes were numbered.

The Yankees might even add one more outfielder to platoon in left with Winn and Brett Gardner. The Yanks are trying to get younger and with the trade with Detroit for Granderson they did. And if Brett Gardner plays everyday and succeeds they have.

But don't forget all the clutch hits not only in the World Series and playoffs that Damon got. But he is a clutch and winning player like Matusi and this is one Yankee fan who thinks he will be missed.

Let's Do It Again

Lets do it again

Happy New Year! Its 2010

After one of the greatest seasons in Yankees history its time to talk baseball.

I am real sorry to see Hedeki Matsui leave he was a great Yankee; thanks for the great series. Right now not to sure if Johnny Damon is coming back but the Yanks will need a left fielder. If spring training started today I like the staff. Getting Javier Vazquez back could be good
for his second time around. He has become a more complete pitcher and he wont have to be the ace here.

I was a big Melkey fan but Curtis Granderson is a big upgrade at 29 he is a top fielder and is coming into his own with 30 homers.Nick Johnson will be the DH and spot start. There are still moves to come and I cant wait till pitchers and catchers its not to far away.
