Waiting for Signs of Life…
How to build an 80-win team…
The Boston Red Sox have gotten stronger with the recent additions of Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval, and most likely, the re-signing of their former ace Jon Lester in the coming weeks. The Toronto Blue Jays quietly signed catcher Russell Martin (a significant upgrade over Dioner Navarro) and last night, pulled off a major trade for arguably one of the best third basemen in the game in Josh Donaldson of the Oakland A's. The cost for Donaldson was Brett Lawrie and prospects. Given Lawrie's inability to stay healthy, this trade provides further enhancement for a team that has held promise for a few years.
Lance Iversen, The Chronicle
Then there's the Baltimore Orioles. They may not have made any big moves but they are still the AL East champs until proven otherwise.
I am not sure what's going on with the Tampa Bay Rays. They will be losing a great potential manager in bench coach Dave Martinez when they finally name a replacement for Joe Maddon and the team no longer has the feeling of eternal optimism that it had when Maddon and former GM Andrew Friedman were running the show. So, we'll leave them out of the equation.
So, clearly, the Blue Jays and Red Sox are determined to challenge the Orioles' hold on the division championship. Meanwhile, in the Bronx, just crickets…
Last winter, the Yankees were quiet at the beginning of the off-season but then launched a flurry of signings in December that netted Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Carlos Beltran. It was a lot of money, but it still had the feeling the money could have been better spent. Of course, if the Yankees would have just paid Russell Martin a few years ago rather than allow him to leave as a free agent, the Yankees could have gotten him much cheaper than the deal they signed McCann to (or the one Martin ultimately signed with the Jays). Ellsbury is a known risk given his injury risk. He held up fairly well in his first season in pinstripes, and I like having him on the team. But the truth is the Yankees had a center fielder on the roster at the time in Brett Gardner and would have been better served going after a bat for left field. Beltran has been a great major leaguer but his age simply does not bode well for staying healthy.
Now, I could write major concerns with Ramirez and Sandoval, but the Red Sox are dealing from a position of strength and have loosened some major league players, combined with quality prospects, to make a major trade to further strengthen the team (such as a move for the Philadelphia Phillies ace Cole Hamels). The Yankees last year were just trying to fill holes.
I am surprised that the Yankees have not been linked in any way with star free agents Jon Lester and Max Scherzer. Clearly, either one would immediately enhance the Yankees' chances in 2015. They need to find answers for other positions (third base, shortstop and the bullpen) but a high end rotation is a must for any team to succeed. As it stands, there are too many questions with Masahiro Tanaka's elbow, Michael Pineda's ability to stay healthy or if CC Sabathia is riding the major downslope of his career.
The Yankees need to sign either Scherzer or Lester, and retain the free agent trio of Brandon McCarthy, Chase Headley, and David Robertson. With this off-season of inactivity, it feels like the Yankees are going to lose out on all of the above. At least today, two days after Thanksgiving.
I remain hopeful that Rob Refsnyder wins the second base job in spring training. As for shortstop, the easiest solution is to re-sign Stephen Drew. It's really too bad that the organization was unable to develop a high level shortstop prospect in time for Derek Jeter's departure. Jorge Mateo looks like a strong possibility but he's years away from being ready for the major league level. So, the Yankees are best served finding a short-term solution like Drew and hope for a bounce back year with a full training camp. I'd prefer that over a trade that could potentially cost what high level talent the Yankees do have in the upper levels of the minor league system.
If the Yankees do nothing, they'll be battling the Rays for last place. If they merely try to fill holes with cheaper alternatives, they'll still be cellar rats. Something has to give….soon.
I agree with Hal Steinbrenner when he says that you don't need a $200 million payroll to win but the Yankees roster as currently constructed is not championship-caliber in my opinion. Too much risk and uncertainty, and players who've seen their better days. Alex Rodriguez is such a huge albatross and it's a shame that he is now the "face" of the team.
Hopefully, Brian Cashman and the Steinbrenner boys have a plan in place that is driven for success and not merely a bean counter's approach to fielding a team.
Time will tell, as it often does (as the saying goes)…
All Quiet on the Eastern Front…
Still no shortstop, closer, help for the starting rotation, hitting coach, first base coach, legitimate third baseman…
Understandably, the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving are always quiet. Okay, we've seen signings elsewhere (Russell Martin to the Toronto Blue Jays, Michael Cuddyer to the New York Mets) and a new $325 million dollar man. But in the Yankees Universe, the biggest news this week was GM Brian Cashman's Thursday night sleepover on the streets of New York.
There have been reports the Yankees will not pursue any of the major free agents, comments that they may join the chase, followed by more reports of non-interest. With the Yankees, you never know if that's just a smoke screen to help keep prices down or if it is genuine Hal Steinbrenner fiscal conservatism at play. But one thing is known, the 2015 Yankees will not win with the current roster. As it stands, they are losing talent from last year's team that arguably over-achieved.
I know the thought of another long-term mega contract is frightful, but to plug Max Scherzer or Jon Lester into the starting rotation would provide an immediate upgrade. Yes, they still need to bring back David Robertson, Chase Headley, and Brandon McCarthy but there's too much uncertainty in the starting rotation at the moment. The San Francisco Giants have proven time and again that a great starting pitching rotation helps to offset a less than elite offensive lineup.
Honestly, I am not sure what to expect this winter. If the Yankees maintain the status quo, it will be yet another October-less season for the Yanks.
When the Yankees drafted shortstop Cito Culver a few years ago, it was the perfect setup for him to be the eventual successor for Derek Jeter. He never developed as expected and will always be left to wonder what could have been. The Yankees are certainly worse off for his failure as they'll either need to pay to bring back Stephen Drew as a temporary solution or give up quality prospects to bring in other options. There's absolutely nothing in the upper levels of the farm system to provide relief in the foreseeable future.
I look at the current Yankees roster and do not see anyone that is worthy of replacing Derek Jeter as Captain. That's one spot that will sit vacant for a few years. There's certainly no urgency to pass the baton.
There's no doubt the Yankees have a plan. Eventually, the plan will start to unfold and we'll see what the team has up its sleeve. Until then, eat lots of Turkey, potatoes and gravy and look forward to the Winter Meetings in December. We're at the calm before the storm.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
If we pay you this money, can you get 8 of your buddies to cover the other positions on the field?…
13 long years…
Say what?…
As Giancarlo Stanton and the Miami Marlins approach the finish line on the potential largest contract in the history of Major League Baseball, I can't help but wonder how crazy this is. 13 years at $325 million is a lot of money any way you slice it. Granted, Stanton will only be 37 at the end of the deal, but I stand with the many who believe that excessively long contracts are not good for the sport.
While guys like Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera earned their pay through their last games, the tail end of the contracts for Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia are looking ghastly. For A-Rod and over $30 mil per year for three more years, the Yankees get a guy who hasn't played for a year and is being mentioned as a back-up first baseman/DH type. If he manages to hit 20 home runs next season, it will be considered a success but not when you tally the cost of each of those home runs. Stanton is not A-Rod and odds are that Stanton will be playing at a higher level toward the back end of his contract, but there is so much potential for this deal to go drastically wrong. With players now frequently receiving opt out clauses, it's too bad that the teams do not get an opt out when things go sourly. I would love to see the Yankees use the money slated for A-Rod, Teixeira and Sabathia elsewhere. If the Yankees maintain the status quo this offseason (signing only their own free agents) and do not make any attempt to upgrade the team, we're faced with another mediocre season and it's directly the result of the bad contracts.
The Yankees lost a great player when Robinson Cano signed his monster deal in Seattle, but even in retrospect, I think the Yankees were smart in not matching Seattle's offer.
Giancarlo Stanton is a great player and the Marlins are better with him than without. But I do not like the precedent that it sets. Odds are that Stanton opts out and gets even more money so good for him. Yet, what protects the Marlins from a bad investment? Or how the bar is elevated for future deals? I am trying wondering if I will see players receiving a percentage of team ownership one day.
When I was a kid, I remember star pitcher Ron Guidry having to settle for $900,000 because George Steinbrenner said that he'd never pay a pitcher a million dollars a year. I guess times have changed…
The early results…
So far, the Yankees have re-signed Chris Young and acquired lefty reliever Justin Wilson. I think both moves are good for the back of the roster. The Yankees needed to do something with Francisco Cervelli given the catching depth and to get a guy like Wilson was a smart move given the team's difficulty in finding a replacement for Boone Logan.
Young earned a return to the Bronx with his September performance. Hopefully, that's the player the Yankees are getting for 2015 and not the earlier Mets version.
As much as I would like to see the Yankees pursue Jon Lester or Max Scherzer, I'll be very relieved if and when the Yankees re-sign David Robertson, Chase Headley and Brandon McCarthy. New York is a hard place to play, but all three of these guys have shown they can prosper in the Bronx. Robertson followed a legend with grace and ease, Headley showed brilliant defense at a position we really haven't seen since Graig Nettles, and McCarthy gave the Yankees a chance to win with almost every start. Dellin Betances had a great first year but we really do not know if he could make the transition to closer. It wasn't something that Robertson was able to do immediately as he did not enjoy success the year Mariano Rivera was hurt in Kansas City. I believe that A-Rod will look to be the older, injury prone player that he has become, if not worse.
The Yankees need to make some inspired trades. It may mean taking a chance on someone who, for whatever reason, has not found his potential, but that's okay. I'd rather take a chance on a young player with upside than getting locked into a three year deal with an aging outfielder.
I was glad to see former Yankee and Pirate A.J. Burnett re-sign with Pittsburgh, foregoing more money from his last year's team, the Philadelphia Phillies. Burnett was a good fit in Pittsburgh and it was nice to see a player take an offer that extended beyond just money.
Not that I want to wish the year away, but I am anxious for next month's winter meetings so that Project Improve the Yankees can start taking form…
Your Objective, Mr Cashman, is to restore October baseball…
It's a simple formula…
It is nice that Dellin Betances was nominated for AL Rookie of the Year, but it is a foregone conclusion that the award belongs to Jose Abreu of the Chicago White Sox. I hope all of the accolades bestowed upon Betances (well deserved) do not go to the heads of the Yankee brass. I am a bit concerned that they are ready to turn the closer's role over to Betances, and I believe that's a mistake. The Yankees need to do what it takes to bring back David Robertson. The thought of him potentially being the closer for Joe Maddon in Chicago is troubling, to say the least.
- Sign Robertson…
- Sign Brandon McCarthy…
- Sign Chase Headley…
It's that simple. This isn't rocket science.
If the Yankees are truly serious about not pursuing a frontline starter like Max Scherzer, Jon Lester, or James Shields, they need to bring back McCarthy…and then some.
New York Daily News
In my mind, Headley is THE Yankees third baseman. I have no love for the other guy and there's no way that he will be able to physically perform at the position through the duration of a long season, given that he's about to turn 40 and has been away for a year. Headley may not be a monster bat, but his defense was electrifying. With new guys potentially slated for second and short, the Yankees need consistency and stability at third. Headley, not A-Rod, is the man to bring it.
Even if the Yankees bring back Robertson and continue with the 1-2 punch of Betances-Robertson in the late innings, they need lights out relief in front of them. I suspect that CC Sabathia will not go deep into his games, and with so many questions in the rotation (Masahiro Tanaka's health, ability of Michael Pineda to stay healthy, etc.), the bullpen will be heavily relied upon.
Baseball is a game of lemmings, and the Kansas City Royals proved that a great bullpen can compensate for weaknesses in the starting rotation.
Truth or dare…
Regarding the reports that the Yankees will not pursue the Big Three (Scherzer, Lester or Shields), put me in the 'I'll believe it when I see it' category. Those reports always strike me as a way for the Yankees to hopefully keep prices down or to give them leverage with the free agent. The Yankees would be foolish not to pursue Scherzer or Lester.
Hey Cash!…
I remain heavily behind putting Rob Refsnyder at second. I know that Jose Pirela is tearing up winter ball, but I still prefer Refsnyder.
As for short, I'd be okay with the Yankees bringing back Stephen Drew. I really do think that Drew will have a much better season in 2015, with the benefit of spring training. But if they go the free agent market, then Asdrubal Cabrera probably makes the most sense. The cost to obtain Troy Tulowitzski or even Alexei Ramirez would be too high. If there's anything I want to accomplish this winter besides signing the above free agents, it's to protect top prospects like Luis Severino or Aaron Judge.
With so many teams needing quality catching, and Russell Martin the lone option on the free agent market, it would seem the Yankees should put Francisco Cervelli on the table. By himself, he wouldn't bring top return, but he could be packaged with other prospects to bring a quality return. Obviously, not game changers but quality talent that a winning club needs.
Wanted: GM, no experience required…
The GM landscape is certainly taking a different look. It seems like the veteran GM's are showing up on radio talk shows (like Jim Duquette, Steve Phillips, and others), while newcomers are breaking into the GM inner circle. I was very surprised to see the Dodgers name Farhan Zaidi as their GM as I felt Josh Byrnes would get the job, but the Dodgers got Byrnes anyway to lead its scouting and player development areas. After listening to an interview with the 37 year old MIT-grad Zaidi, I am tremendously impressed and there's no doubt that he'll mesh very well with President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, Byrnes, and Manager Don Mattingly. He gets it.
Another GM that surprised me was Dave Stewart of the Arizona Diamondbacks. But as a quality guy who can do the job, it's Stewart.
Still, I wonder what guys like Duquette and Phillips think. Perhaps they have no interest in returning to the GM role. It would seem that the stress of a radio gig would be a little less stressful than trying to put together a championship caliber team and keeping it together.
At some point in the future, the Yankees would be wise to promote Brian Cashman to President of Baseball Operations and to move Billy Eppler to GM.
Whatever happened to Kim Ng?…

I know, she works for MLB but I always thought that she'd be the first female GM.
These first few weeks in November are always so quiet. Awards will be announced next week and the GM meetings are coming up so there'll be a little activity. However, it always takes the Baseball Winter Meetings in December to really get things cooking. I am anxious to see what the 2015 Yankees will look like. Hopefully, the roster will include Robertson, McCarthy, and Headley. I shouldn't say it, but I would not be disappointed if it didn't include Rodriguez…
End of WS, Start of Hot Stove…
Quiet domination…
I am not sure too many people would have predicted the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals in the Fall Classic, but congratulations to the Giants for their third World Series win in five years. For being the most dominant team since the Yankees of the late 90's, they've gone about it very quietly. I guess that's a product of East Coast bias, but Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy deserve much credit for crafting one of baseball's better organizations.

When the Royals hit the sloppy triple in the top of the 9th of Game 7 against the great Madison Bumgarner, there was never really a sense that the Giants were going to let the game slip away. Of course, that's very easy to say when Bumgarner is on the mound. It was a legendary World Series performance and he was the MVP by far. Pablo Sandoval played superbly but Bumgarner was simply spectacular. I did feel bad for the Kansas City fans who came so close to a championship after so many years of bad teams. They'll certainly be a force going forward and should have other opportunities. With their stash of young talent, they remind me of the Tampa Bay Rays of a few years ago.
Maybe we will see it during our lifetime…
Joe Maddon and the Chicago Cubs. It does seem like a potential great marriage. Hopefully, former Cubs manager Rick Renteria will get another opportunity sooner rather than later. He certainly deserves it, but this was a move that the Cubs needed to make. It is a terrific chance for Maddon to prove that he is the best manager in baseball, and to win the World Series at Wrigley Field would be the crown jewel.
When Maddon first opted out of his contract with the Rays, I thought, or feared, that the Dodgers would foolishly dump Don Mattingly to reunite Maddon with former Rays GM Andrew Friedman. But fortunately, Mattingly is held in high regard by ownership, so I am sure that solidified his position regardless of what Friedman may have felt privately. Publicly, the Dodgers didn't say or do anything to undermine their current manager which was good. With the Dodgers off the table, the Cubs were the best spot for Maddon. Unfortunate that it came at the expense of an employed manager, but it was still the right fit.
Maddon and his personality should be an instant success in the Windy City.
Protect your own, well, except #13…
I was glad to see the Yankees extend a qualifying offer to closer David Robertson, but there was no chance they wouldn't. It would be awesome if Robertson accepted the qualifying offer but I seriously doubt it. Hopefully, the Yankees and Robertson can find common ground in bringing the closer back to the Bronx. Dellin Betances may be a great closer one day, but Kansas City showed that you can go a long way with a stellar bullpen. The Yankees are better with Betances setting up Robertson.
I am also hopeful that the Yankees bring back third baseman Chase Headley and starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy. However, McCarthy may get caught in numbers. CC Sabathia will be back to join Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda. Shane Greene deserves another shot at the rotation, and it is very likely the Yankees will go after one of the top three free agent pitchers (Max Scherzer, Jon Lester or James Shields). At some point early in the season, Ivan Nova will return. It's anybody's guess what Sabathia will bring and there is some uncertainly with Tanaka and his elbow. So loading up with starting pitching is never a bad thing, but if McCarthy wants a guaranteed spot, he'll most likely need to go elsewhere. It's too bad because he is a good fit in the Bronx.
Tough decisions lie ahead for GM Brian Cashman and the Steinbrenner family.
Too many players with uncertainty. Alex Rodriguez is certainly at the head of the list. His days as a premier third baseman are over. That's even more reason to bring Headley back. With someone like A-Rod, I would set my expectations low and then anything he delivers beyond that would be a bonus. I truly hated to see the World Series end for no other reason than it meant the restoration of A-Rod to the active roster. I wish there was a way the Yankees could sever ties, but the contract is too problematic unless the Yankees want to simply give A-Rod money for nothing and release him.
With Jose Pirela performing well in winter ball, there should be very spirited competition for second base with Rob Refsnyder in Spring Training. My preference is to go young with the position and not reach out for an older veteran on the free agent or trade market. They'll need to do the latter at shortstop to provide a fill in until young prospect Jorge Mateo is hopefully ready in a few years.
It's been fun watching the star shine more brightly on Yankees prospect Aaron Judge. One of the bigger guys in baseball, he is playing better than just a big man and is on track to arrive at Yankee Stadium in a couple of years.
This off-season will see the departure of some prospects as a few are getting older and running out of options like Austin Romine. The Yankees have a glut at catcher behind Brian McCann, so it would seem that either Francisco Cervelli or John Ryan Murphy will have to go. I only hope that it doesn't mean trading away high level talent like Judge or pitcher Luis Severino unless the return is significant (highly unlikely).
Best of luck to Gary Denbo as he takes over for VP of Baseball Operations for the retiring Mark Newman. The Yankees have made progress in improving their minor league system the last couple of years so hopefully Denbo can enhance the continued growth of quality prospects at the upper levels of the system. Also, I was pleased to see the return of former third baseman Eric Chavez as a special assignment scout. I was disappointed last year when he chose a bench role with the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Yankees to be closer to his home in Arizona.
Still no word on a new hitting coach or first base coach, although it looks like Raul Ibanez is getting strong consideration for the former position. Teaming him with someone like James Rowson would be a great idea.
Decisions made by the Yankees over the next 45 days will go a very long way toward shaping the 2015 Yankees.
I am ready for Spring Training to begin…
Anxious for the Hot Stove League to begin…
The Element of Surprise…
The World Series is not yet over, but the 2014-15 Hot Stove League is already well under way.
The biggest shocker was the announcement that Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon had opted out of his contract to become a free agent. While I knew that there was a financial gap between what Maddon would require upon the conclusion of his contract next year and what the Rays would be willing to pay, I certainly didn't expect Maddon's sudden availability. Interesting that he had to be told about the two week clause to opt out of his contract should former GM Andrew Friedman depart, but clearly a signal that the Rays organization wants to show that they are more than the Friedman-Maddon show. I've read that the Rays didn't want Maddon playing as a lame duck manager next season and that makes sense. Still, he is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, manager in baseball.
Tampa Bay Times
I had expected Maddon's availability to put Don Mattingly on thin ice in Los Angeles, but publicly the Dodgers have stood behind Mattingly as their manager for 2015. While I don't think that Mattingly is the manager that Maddon is, I do believe that he eventually will be. Mattingly has continued to improve in my eyes, and he deserves the opportunity to succeed with the Dodgers. But it must be hard for new Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman sit idly by while his close friend is available to the highest bidder. With the only remaining managerial opening being in Minneapolis, it's a given that if Maddon manages in 2015, a team will make a late decision to jettison their current manager. Speculation that it will be the Chicago Cubs certainly makes sense, but I feel bad for Rick Renteria who did a very good job last year with the younger Cubs.
If I owned a baseball team, I'd certainly consider making a change to bring in Maddon. It will be interesting to see where he lands. I really doubt that he'll sit out a year waiting for the next job.
Meanwhile, I certainly do not feel bad for the Tampa Bay Rays. I am in favor of anything that weakens AL East Rivals, but I am sure that Tampa will be fine.
Strike One…
For the Yankees, they missed their guy when Chili Davis signed a three year deal to be the new hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox. Chili was my personal favorite for the job, and had hoped for his reunion with the Yanks. But it was not meant to be. With Dave Magadan off the board, it's anybody's guess who will replace Kevin Long as the Yankees hitting coach. Of the latest names, I do like the idea of the Yankees pursuing Rays hitting coach Derek Shelton or if they stay in house, someone like James Rowson. Without strong clear cut options, it does make one wonder if the Yanks were premature in letting Long go. It certainly didn't take him long to find a new job in Flushing Meadow. With his reputation, it was a certainty that he wouldn't remain unemployed very long.
John Munson/The Star-Ledger
In retrospect, the Yankees should have kept Long and brought in an assistant hitting coach. Regardless of who they hire as a replacement, I still think the Yankees should join the many team now employing two hitting coaches. My personal favorite for that role continues to be Hideki Matsui.
A wasted roster spot…
With the World Series now tied up, I am hopeful that it goes the full seven games. While I want the San Francisco Giants to win, I am not ready for the announcement that Alex Rodriguez has rejoined the Yankees active roster. I am not looking forward to his return and I do not feel that he'll be the productive player that he once was. In my opinion, he'd look better someplace like Miami but the guy has no trade value unless the Yankees are willing to absorb what's left on his inflated contract. He is definitely the poster child against long-term contracts. This has turned out to be one of the worst that I've ever seen. The thought of three more years of A-Rod is so incredibly painful. I sincerely hope that A-Rod's presence does not deter the Yankees from re-signing free agent third baseman Chase Headley.
There was once a time that I thought A-Rod would never wear pinstripes again but sadly, it appears that I was wrong. Of course, it's not my money and the Yankees still owe A-Rod too much to just release him.
Assuming the Yankees do bring back Headley, the position that scares me the most next season is first base. It's hard to count on Mark Teixeira and when he plays, he is a shell of the player he once was. It is looking like A-Rod will be playing some first base which brings its own questions. I remain hopeful that Rob Refsnyder grabs second base in spring training. As for Derek Jeter's replacement at short, I think the answer is outside of the organization. More than likely, it will be a short term solution. Asdrubal Cabrera probably makes the most sense unless it is determined that his long term future is better suited for second base.
With the World Series set to end either Tuesday or Wednesday, I am sure that the Hot Stove League will start heating up if the last few weeks have been any indication. No offense to either the Giants or the Kansas City Royals, but, outside of A-Rod, I am ready for the rebuilding of the Yankees to begin…
Wanted: Batting Magician and Shift Neutralizer…
The first swing is a strike…
OK, I am bummed. Today's news, aside from the fact that my beloved Minnesota Vikings and San Jose Sharks lost games, was the Boston Red Sox naming former Yankee Chili Davis as their new hitting coach. I had really hoped we'd see the return of Davis to New York to replace the departed Kevin Long. However, it is not meant to be. Not sure if Davis decided not to wait on the Yankees, or if they made a lower offer, or if Davis simply looked into the crystal ball and saw greater potential with the 2015 Red Sox hitters.
I wish Chili the best in his new job, and I am sure that he'll be a huge benefit for Yoenis Cespedes given their prior success together in Oakland.
Where does that leave the Yankees? At this point, Dave Magadan is probably the strongest name on the board. Dante Bichette has been mentioned as a possibility. I have not kept up with Dante's post-playing career, but he is an intriguing name given his close friendship with Manager Joe Girardi and his son is a prospect in the Yankees system. Another name that intrigues me is Jason Giambi. Not sure if he is ready to pull the plug on his playing days, but he's obviously already moved into a mentoring role and would be a great guy for the position. With so many teams moving to the two hitting coach approach, I think the Yankees should follow suit regardless of who gets the job. A perfect combo might be Magadan with Hideki Matsui as his assistant hitting coach.
While I am disappointed that Chili Davis is no longer an option, I wonder if the team has already made its decision. Reports are that a new coach could be named by Tuesday which leads me to believe the Yankees have either made their decision or they've significantly narrowed the choices.
Hopefully next week brings some good news regarding Joe Girardi's coaching staff. It's funny. When your team is not in the World Series, you are anxious for the WS to end so that the Hot Stove League can begin.
Speaking of the World Series, I am pulling for the San Francisco Giants by default. My NL team is the Los Angeles Dodgers but sadly they couldn't make it to the NLCS. As a Bay Area resident, it's not too hard to default to the Giants even if they are the Dodgers bitterest rival. It doesn't matter that the Giants have that 'been there, done that' feel to them whereas the Kansas City Royals are returning to a stage they haven't seen since 1985. I am ready for another Orange October…
Let's start this the right way…
1-0 to start the 2014-15 Off-Season…
First order of business has been accomplished. With the signing of GM Brian Cashman to a new three year deal, the off-season can officially begin. I am glad that Cashman will be returning, although I certainly would not have been opposed to Billy Eppler stepping into the role.
I found Cashman's words about Alex Rodriguez to be intriguing. It was a public admission that the team does not plan to rely upon Rodriguez as its everyday third baseman. Granted, I am not an A-Rod fan, but I openly prefer to see the return of Chase Headley or would support the free agent acquisition of someone like Pablo Sandoval. To hear Cashman talk about A-Rod possibly playing first base, I think that's a great idea as Mark Teixeira is another older veteran who can no longer be relied upon to perform every day. Of course, the use of 1B/DH between Teixeira and A-Rod doesn't really leave much room for Carlos Beltran on those days that he can't play the field.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I would still like to see the Yankees find a way to sever ties with A-Rod even if it means eating his contract. Easy for me to say given it is not my money but A-Rod, the 40-year old hip "impaired" DH that has not played in a year will not perform to the level of the money he is still owed. So, filling the roster spot with a younger, more durable player certainly makes sense.
At this point in Cashman's career, he is building his Yankees legacy as the longest running Yankees GM that I've ever known. When his time is over, he'll be remembered among the best of the all-time Yankees GMs. Rebuilding a winner in the next three years would go a long way toward putting Cashman at the head of the class. Of course, failure could mean his dismissal. After 17 years on the job, he is truly entering "what have you done for me lately?" territory.
The Fall Guys…
I have long agreed that Kevin Long has been a great hitting coach, but for whatever reason, the message didn't work this year. Perhaps it was the direct product of the available talent on the roster or it was the loss of a vital cog in the heart of the order when Robinson Cano fled for Seattle. But regardless of the reasons, it was time for a change. So, I was not disappointed when I heard that Long and first base coach Mick Kelleher had been fired.
My personal preference for hitting coach would be the Oakland A's Chili Davis. I know that the A's offense stalled late in the season, but I've always respected Davis and what his bat meant to a lineup.
The Yankees will be competing with the Boston Red Sox in their search since the Sox also need a hitting coach.
Giant hope…
For the World Series, after the Yankees failed to reach the play-offs and the Los Angeles Dodgers bowed out in the first round, my latest preference is the San Francisco Giants. Maybe it's because I am a Bay Area resident but it would be good to see the Giants prevail even if the Giants and St Louis Cardinals have been frequent participants of the Fall Classic in recent years. There's no way that I'll pull for the Baltimore Orioles or the Kansas City Royals regardless of how many years it has been since they last won. I had really hoped that Don Mattingly and the Dodgers would have succeeded with arguably the best pitcher in baseball with Clayton Kershaw but his 0-2 mark against the Cards sealed their fate.
Do it again, only better…
The Apology…
When I heard today that Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner had apologized to Yankee fans for the 2014 season, it did bring back memories of when the Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1981 World Series and George Steinbrenner's famed apology.
It's tough to criticize ownership because they did spend money in the off-season to bring in Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran, Brian McCann and others. However, it was a flawed team from the start. Even in April, when the starting rotation was still healthy, the infield looked to be a disaster with question marks around the bases. The gaping hole created by Robinson Cano's departure was never sufficiently addressed although Martin Prado was a good late season pickup.
With Mark Teixeira's injuries in recent years, it was no sure thing that he'd bounce back after last year's wrist surgery. He was never the same player and may never be again. Third base was poorly addressed with Kelly Johnson, particularly when considered in tandem with the hole at second base and the diminished skills, thanks to age, of the legendary shortstop.
I am not sure what moves the Yankees could have made that would have worked out better. GM Brian Cashman was dealing with limited options last off-season and it is why they had to throw money at the situation. Sadly, it's not the 20-something, in the middle of your prime, guys that are routinely available. It's the aging veterans or the journeymen.
Via LoHud Yankees Blog
One of the guys who had been tied to the Yankees last off-season was second baseman Omar Infante. Infante subsequently spurned the Yankees for the Kansas City Royals, and in retrospect, he made the perfect decision as his team has advanced to the AL Divisional Play-offs. It is in what Infante saw regarding the Yankees situation that needs to be fixed.
Now that Alex Rodriguez is back, I hope that does not prevent the Yankees from bringing back Chase Headley. Straight up, I'd take Headley at third over Rodriguez. There's going to be a huge fight for the DH spot next year with Beltran and A-Rod. If Beltran is healthy, I'd give him the edge so this team may simply have no spot for A-Rod (which is what I would like to see). I know the Yankees still owe A-Rod a great deal of money, but they'd be best served paying the majority of his contract to move him elsewhere (the proverbial "addition by subtraction").
The first order of business for Yankee ownership is to re-sign Cashman. All reports indicate that's going to happen, but I'd prefer to see it happen before the end of the World Series so that the GM is not a distraction at the start of the Hot Stove League. If anybody needs to be "all in", it's Cashman.
Typical Derek Jeter…
I was convinced all season long that there was no way Jeter could top Mariano Rivera's 2013 farewell. But I should have never underestimated him. The game went from frustrating when David Robertson gave up the potential game winning lead to exhilaration when Derek hit the game winning, walk off single in the bottom of the 9th in his final Yankee Stadium appearance. It was an incredible experience to watch. The fans in attendance at the Stadium certainly got their money's worth.
New York Times
At first, I was surprised when I heard that Jeter had no desire to play shortstop during the final series in Boston. But I completely get his reasons for wanting to take something away from the final Yankee Stadium appearance. By the end, Jeter was a guy ready to lay down his glove but he left the field with the same class and dignity as when he arrived. Tough to see Jeter go, but it was time. I saw the quotes that said 'don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened' and they are so true. We were blessed to have Derek Jeter, but now it is time for somebody else.
So long, Derek. Looking forward to the retirement of your number at Yankee Stadium and entry into the Hall of Fame.
The Answer is easy…
Who should start third base for the New York Yankees in 2015? The choices are Chase Headley or Alex Rodriguez. Give me a break. Bring back Headley…please…

In a note on its Nokia Conversations blog, the company said that it 'can't tell you what it is yet' but advised visitors to return to the blog for the announcement at 9.a.m UK time on Tuesday.
Nokia announced its high-end Lumia 1020 smartphone in New York just a few days ago, which could mean that the announcement is a new tablet or phablet device.
Online reports suggest that it could be for the Nokia Lumia 625, a mid-range Windows Phone 8 device but with a 4.7-inch screen and dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor.
A first tablet from Nokia looks much less unlikely, given the firm's recent decision to abandon its Windows RT tablet in favour of a fully-fledged Windows 8 model.

Extraordinary People
In the Dec. 2007 issue of Vierteljahresschrift der Deutschen Haiku-Gesellschaft (quarterly of the German Haiku Society), Horst Ludwig (MLLC) had one haiku, one haibun (a kind of short short-story), and a discussion of "Atombombenhaiku," the haiku found praiseworthy by this year's 47th Haiku Meeting at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto commemorating the atomic bomb attacks.
Lisa Heldke's (philosophy) autobiographical essay "Mussel Bound" was performed as a part of Ground to Plate, a monthly food-related theater event held at the Common Ground Cafe in Chicago. Lisa, inexplicably, was played by a man.
Kevin Birr (Dining Service) and his teammates on the Birr Rink (brother and skip Todd Birr, of Mankato, and Bill Todhunter and Greg Johnson, both from Appleton, Wis.) played a significant part as Team North American completed its rout of Team Europe at curling's Continental Cup in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, on Dec. 16, 2007. Team North America ended up winning the competition over Team Europe by a commanding 290-110 score, marking the first time ever that the overall event title was decided before the final day of competition. This is the third time in five years that Team North America has won the Continental Cup, although Europe won last year's competition in Chilliwack, B.C., Canada. Similar to golf's Ryder Cup, the Continental Cup pits three men's and three women's rinks from Europe against counterparts from North America in a series of contests. The Birr Rink, reigning USCA national champion, was one of the three men's rinks representing North America.
Lois Peterson's (art and art history) ceramic tiles are included in the newly published book by Lark Publishing, 500 Ceramic Tiles. Available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com among other outlets, it features current work being done by international artists in the field of ceramic tiles.
- Philip Swenson, retired support staff member who worked as Lund Center building supervisor 1984-1998, died on Dec. 17, 2007. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, "Dee" (Delores) Swenson, also a retired Gustavus support staff member who worked in the athletics department.
To inform the campus community of the death of a current student, employee, or trustee; an emeritus professor or trustee; or an immediate family member of a current employee, contact the Office of the President (x7538 or firstname.lastname@example.com). Death announcements and funeral notices for students, current and emeritus faculty and employees, and trustees will be sent to the community via written notice from the president, posted on community-l, the official campus-wide e-mail list, and published in the Yellow Sheet or Summer Scoop. Notices for immediate family members of current employees will be published in the Yellow Sheet or the Summer Scoop unless they occur during a publication break, in which case they will be posted on employee-l.

If the print has dryed you must soak it in water before toning or the print may become mottled.
Selenium is a metaloid in the same family as sulfur. Sepia is a color. I think you are refering to sulfide toning which can produce a sepia tone.
You control the amount of toning and/or color by either dilution or by the time in the toner. Each toner formulation is different with commercial toners follow the manufacturers instructions.

Soul de Cuba Restaurant Review: This small, intimate eatery, located across the street from the Hawaii Theatre, attracts workers from the nearby financial area at lunch and after work for the well concocted drinks, couples on a night out, and theatre patrons on performance nights. The menu is filled with traditional Cuban dishes like ropa vieja; lechon asado, roasted pork with onions; camarones bailando, a spicy shrimp appetizer; and a memorable pollo Soul de Cuba, which features a salsa of pineapple, guava and mango atop a tender chicken breast. On theatre nights, it's best to arrive early since tables and nearby parking fill quickly. |

Baba looks so cool would fit so well in LOL. eh I'm not a fan of Carine, sorry
Nice idea mate
Add a mini skirt on baba and we might call it a deal
Babas passive is a bit of an issue, with her hitting the stacks and instantly getting focused down. Also as a Support mage she is likely to die for her team. I love the concept of it all, just the passive functionality would be problematic. I really like Carine though. Question about her passive, it says after 10 seconds her next shot is a Black Jellybean but (unlikely Ashes passive) is irrespective of the stacking count. Is this only once or does it continually stack? How does the selection of Lollipops occur also? Closest one? Targetted? If one is out automatic upon press? I like that trade off of blink for loss of AD and Gold. Does she always have 1 Lollipop (as it says she gains one in the ability description). E synergises fine also. The ult as a toggle is reminiscent of Taric and would definitely open up build options (do I go straight damage or get a bigger mana pool for more ult uptime?) New Manamune and its upgrade scream for this champion. I am getting excited but she doesn't even exist =( Good job friend, reminds me of a thread of champion ideas that were really quirky and had a cool art style when representing the ideas (bookmark gone =|).
Show the young Baba version!
Love the old hag! Sadly the Sweetheart would be turned into some schoolgirl anime *** fantasy...
Lol, I LOVE Carine!
You Sir.. You Rock. Good Job
DmG Apollo
I want a Baba-Yaga hag type champ so badly. But holy **** dude, I love the idea of the Blue Rose passive making her young again. Not only does it fit with the old fairy tale, but it ends up making for a really awesome transformative ability. I do agree that the stacks may be hard to keep/manage...but i'm sure there's an easy fix to keep the same general idea without completely changing the whole thing. I don't care if she's made into a support, jungler, ap mid, whatever. It's an instabuy for alot of people. There's too much awesome lore/flavor in this character archetype to ignore for a fantasy game like LoL. http://stevenhartsite.files.wordpres.../07/yubaba.jpg http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=baba+yaga#/dvz7sb RIOT PLS.
