Yankees need pitching, both relief and starting Big Time

Anyway, Yankees need pitching, both relief and starting Big Time and they have a whole lot of prima donnas on that team and one sissy glove slapper champion pouter and they ALREADY have 2 CF and a great one already on their club if only they had the common sense to put him there, Captain Derek, of course.Get to the point, Girlfriend!OK.Here goes.WHY ON EARTH would Carlos say such a thing? He SAYS he wants to go to a replica Cartier w51002q3 watch winning team.The boy has eyes and they work.But he wants Biggio to stay? Why?Let's take a look at Biggio.He really IS best suited for leadoff.His OPS drops 200 points with any runners on base, as it does with 1 or more outs.

He no longer really has any speed he used to average at least 20 SB per year and has a 70% success rate.He managed 7 last year with 2 CS.His lifetime OBP is .373, but it has dropped to .337 this year, mainly because he isn't taking very many walks only 40, down from his average of 66, and his HBP was 15, down from his usual hi 20s.Fielding. replica Cartier w10198u2 watch Ohmigawd.His fielding.Do I hafta go there? OK 9 errors in 83 games with a fielding % of 930 (mind you, this only counts the balls he dropped, not the ones someone better or faster would have had.) Range factor is 1.64 (this is Bad Carl Crawford, a superior LF is 2.5 and even Barry Bonds is 2.0, old as he is.) ZR is .764 (BADD).

I know that his arm is weak and inaccurate (my eyes work, too.) Jason Lane, by contrast, has a RF of 2.3 and a ZR of .917, a significant improvement.So what does this tell us? Well, Carlos is gonna have to cover MORE ground to make up for a lousy outfielder.More work for Carlos.Biggio is declining as a leadoff hitter and won't be on replica Cartier we9006z3 watch base as often as a good one fewer runs to drive in.He doesn't run well anymore fewer double steals or hit and runs and more possibilities for GIDP.Fewer good stats for Carlos.So, Biggio isn't gonna help him at the plate, on the bases or on the field.

their owner is of Spanish descent and they have Latin players

(Now that the Cards are losing, I guess it's because they don't have heart, are aren't doing all the little things (pitching or hitting) and it's all because of TLR's gloomy mood which has ruined the clubhouse.Or something.)The reason I brought this stuff up is because there is a rumor going around that Will Not Die: Carlos has agreed to return to the Astros if Biggio is re-signed.Does this fall under the Jeter is Clutch category (fairytale)? Let's replica Cartier w69007z3 watch think about this.I know for a fact that Carlos has said on national TV that he wants to play for a team who wins every year (that is, not Milwaukee, say) which means, over the past 5 years, the Yankees, As, Twins, Giants, Seattle (except last year), RedSox, WhiteSox or ?Cubs? and of course, the Stros.Forget As Twins because of $Add Angels because of $ although they have not had a winning team every year.

And of course, their owner is of Spanish descent and they have Latin players and Carlos, would of course rather play with them than people whose first language is English?Forget RedSox cuz of $ (even though they have plenty of em, they still have Johnny replica Cartier w2603156 watch Jesus Damon for another year and they hafta re-sign Varitek and get a new pitcher?because they don't have much farm).Forget Seattle cbecause they don't have pitching and their farm doesn't look good and Bavasi has no sense a-tall about hitters and wants Proven Veterans.

Even though the ONE player they desperately need is a Goldest Glove Ever CF.Forget the Giants because they prefer Veterans On Their Last Legs to torture Barry Bonds by letting him sniff the postseason without grabbing any rings.Maybe the Cubs, who have Corey Patterson to play CF, but has the bad luck to be young and play for a manager who replica Cartier we5001x1 watch hates playing young players and prefers Proven Veterans who Know How To Win (but not hit), a prima donna fading superstar (Sammy), a prima donna manager and a team full of guys who can't catch or run and talk like a girl with bad PMS when the media calls them out on their poor play.

AND they have basically no pitching

He also knows very well that if he doesn't himself be reasonable about contracts and deferring money, we can't keep our good players, and he wants us to.Or replica Cartier we5002x2 watch so he SEZ.And he doesn't strike me as the A-Rod sort who spouts carefully rehearsed phony baloney politically correct bs, even if they do have the same agent… I hope I haven't been star-struck…By the way…1) I assumed Carlos would not be going to the Orioles regardless of dough because of his statement that he wants to go to a team that wins every year and the Orioles haven't?

(ahem) won every year AND they have basically no pitching, so I don't expect them to win until they do.No offense to Oriole fans.2) I didn't discuss the Cards, who ARE winners (I'm not THAT bitter)?because they have an excellent CF on a long contract. replica Cartier w51027q4 watch And they are NOT George, who wants every star in sight, whether he needs them or not… Does George remind anyone else of a girl with a no-limit mastercard in a shoe store? (Yes, that really IS every girl's dream.Don't ask me why…)

I'm sure that y'all have read the zillions of articles by sportswriters on how the Yankees choked, on how they're not a “team” and Jeter is the only “real Yankee” left and is a true leader and clutch and said that “this team” couldn't do it and that's because they don't know what it means to be a Real Yankee.Yeah.I got lost, too.Now that the Red Sox are replica Cartier w1529856 replica Cartier winning, you don't hear anything about Francona's ridiculous managing decisions and how the true key to winning was getting rid of that clubhouse cancer, Nomar and bringing in guys who Know How To Win.

Fact Everett is first year arb he could easily be given

(He couldn't beat out u-know-who either, Albert.)4) The columnists are talking about bringing Kent back at a lower price and trading Burke for pitching (stupid beyond belief) but I replica Cartier w20098d6 watch doubt it.5) The columnists seem pretty sure that Roger will be back no direct quotes, of course.Fact Berkman is 28 and has been in the top 10 of ballplayers for 5 years and needs to be signed (but NOT for 8 years) to a good deal.We don't exactly have anyone to replace him.Not all ballplayers go into serious decline immediately after turning 27.It's not like the law of gravity.Fact Roy (just turned 27) is one of the top 10 pitchers in the NL, has been since he came up in 01 and needs to be signed?to a?long term deal because?he's 1 year from FA.

(no 10 year contracts, duH)Fact Everett is first year arb he could easily be given a like 4 year contract that wouldn't be super expensive.Another Fact Kent ain't worth keeping to give up Beltran and he's good, but he ain't THAT good.He CERTAINLY ain't worth losing good, young players over a 1 year contract.It was replica Cartier w200728g watch worth losing John Buck, our very good A catcher (and our only decent catching prospect) to get Carlos.An opinion Roger Clemens had the time of his life this year.When Andy Pettitte went down, Roger really started hanging with the young guys and teaching them and he found out that adoration isn't limited to fans.He also LOVES being what made Houston turn into a baseball town this year.

He had great support from Boston and NY fans, but this is a whole different level.So I would be REALLY, replica Cartier wb509731 watch surprised if he's not back.Conclusions: Carlos is gonna get wined and dined by everyone with dough.He likes Houston, but is gonna see how we handle the contracts of the players we already have before he signs on the dotted line.He has ALREADY done the big fish in the small pond thing and he doesn't want to go there again, dough or no dough; can't blame him one bit, especially now that he's tasted the postseason.

Charlie Whitehurst still has potential to be a star in the NFL soon

He's clearly not as good as he was a couple years back.14.Seattle Seahawks: Jake Locker, Quarterback, WashingtonOtto Greule Jr/Getty ImagesI can just picture the Seahawks fans telling me that Charlie Whitehurst still has potential to be a star in the NFL soon.Seriously, you're in denial.Seattle made a desperate trade to acquire Longines Heritage watch Whitehurst, and it clearly hasn't panned out for them whatsoever.Jake Locker, who plays in the same state as Seattle, would be a fan favorite from the very get go.15.New England Patriots: Ryan Kerrigan, Hybrid Linebacker, PurdueJamie Sabau/Getty ImagesFirst off, I'm fully aware of how much potential Jermaine Cunningham and Rob Ninkovich have, but I strongly doubt New England would be able to pass up on Ryan Kerrigan's talent.

Kerrigan has moved high on many draft boards due to how wonderful he's played in his senior season at Purdue.Ryan Kerrigan has 26 tackles for loss this year, along with 12.5 sacks.He could become a future Pro bowler with a team that knows how to utilize their talent.16.St.Louis Rams: Justin Blackmon, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma replicaL ongines Heritage StateChristian Petersen/Getty ImagesWhile Danario Alexander has a ton of potential, he still hasn't proven that he can be trusted as a No.receiver for the Rams.Sam Bradford is having an easy time throwing this year, though he would have an even better experience with more reliable targets.

Justin Blackmon is having a tremendous season with Oklahoma State, which is causing his stock to quickly rise.17.Miami Dolphins Mark Ingram, Running Back, AlabamaAl Messerschmidt/Getty ImagesYou wouldn't think off the bat that Miami needs a running back, but with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams both scheduled to be free agents this offseason, they need help.Ronnie Brown will likely be retained, Longines L4.221.2.18.7 Ladie's watches while Ricky Williams either retires or is allowed to go to a different team.Mark Ingram seems as though he's being forgotten amongst the prospects for the 2011 draft, but he's still an extremely talented running back.18.San Diego Chargers: Von Miller, Hybrid Linebacker, Texas AMSan Diego continues to do well in December, but I believe they will struggle to win once January rolls around… Again.
