People care because it affects us getting other players and keeping ones like Montero around.

Who are these other players? The team has the best infield I've ever seen -- maybe even the best ever. The guy in center was an MVP candidate last year. Swisher has been fairly solid, and Gardner is a nice little player. They have a good catcher. Sabathia's one of the best pitchers in the game, and they have a solid rotation behind him. They probably the best bullpen in the majors.

What else, or who else, do you want?

Best Infield? Well for me that would be this one...

Chris Chambliss

Willie Randolph

Bucky Dent

Graig Nettles

Thurman Munson

That was the infield of my childhood, and while it may be my favorite infield, it's not better than the one we're watching today.

HeatMiser...so it was your favorite infield but today's was better?  Ok, I understand but can I ask a few questions?  Our fav infield was the best in the bigs.  It didn't always play together (Dent injury issues) but when it did it was the best in the game.  If was the AL allstar infield or nearly so at least one time.

Is the 2012 Yankee infield the best in the bigs? 

I consider catcher part of the infield...are you discounting the #15 factor?

How may of the current Yankee infield would make the AS Team if voted by players and not the fans?

Damon and Matsui, who can actually hit and didn't show a calamitous decline in offense like Ibanez, were dumped by Cashman, who refuses to admit he was wrong. Brian has been showing signs in the past two years of a huge ego.

Cashman said weeks ago that he picked Ibanez for his defense. Now, 2 days ago, he said "They're all bad defenders, but Ibanez is the worst of the best", which makes no sense whatsoever. If you're going to pick a bad defender, he better be able to hit.

There's a REASON the Phillies let Ibanez go, and it isn't that he was demanding a massive contract.

just checking, is this the same Ibanez who won last night's game?

could it be POSSIBLE that...

Jonah.

is.

WRONG?
