Band wagon jumpers? You've got nerve man. I was born in New York. I've been a fan of the Yankees since I was 4 years old. I made my first bet on the Yankees in 1977. I've been watching them all my life. I wear a hat I got at the original Yankee stadium. You have no idea what you're talking about. |
For the record....
EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES..would sign Derek Jeter if given the opportunity.... including the Angels. |
But they can't because the NYY payroll is 2.5 times the median.

FWIW - I own a seat from the original Yankee Stadium. I have more memorabilia than most can imagine. Yet I am now a Phillies Phan. I live here I have for 30 years - It was the right thing to do. I admit that I still have a lingering fondness for the Yankees though. |
My younger brother got to see The House That Ruth Built in the last season there, much like he saw Boston Garden before it went the way of so many neat old sports venues.
I get a little choked up thinking about it, and I'm not even a big baseball fan. Maybe it's my love of old buildings, and the memories therein. I'm betting my bro shed a tear upon seeing Yankee Stadium. He did his usual "show up a couple hours before the game and check the whole place out" before it's overrun with humans. We were brought up with the Reds, of course, but you can't deny the history of the Yankees, and what they are to baseball. |

Is this a baseball thread, 'cause this would be a good time to talk about the assholiness of one Ben Roethlisberger. Jackass.
:bolt: |

for the record, the angels have recieved offers, some ridiculously high offers for aybar, which they've declined. the yankees, to my knowledge, have not recieved any offers for derek jeter this year. aybar who is 10 years younger than jeter, who is clearly a better defencive player than jeter at this time. he's clearly faster than jeter. and appears to be a greater prospect at bat than jeter did at his age. now you say any team would sign jeter... thats funnier than it sounds. you're saying that the florida marlins would sign jeter. ok, so lets take a closer look at that scenario. florida, now owns jeter, so what options do they have, use him as a bench player?, like a designated hitter? or would they bench hanley ramirez? batting .342 this season with 106 rbi's.... yeah, like thats gonna happen, and again, just like aybar, hanley is a decade younger than jeter....wake tf up looks like you didn't really think this through, so i can only assume that you meant trading hanley for jeter? well, sure, but the yankees would have to include texiera, chamberlain and a couple young prospects in the deal, and even then, i'm not so sure the marlins would agree. don't get me started here. how about the mets? the yankees would have to put in all the above to get the fastest shortstop in the game jose reyes. or how about colorado's tulowitzki? all of the above players offer more on the field than jeter, either with their bat, or their defencive skills. and all are 10 years younger or more. if i owned a baseball team, i would consider short stops like young, orlando and azdubul cabrera, even guzman might be preferable to jeter.... hell i'd even take a lesser calibure player with an underage prospect for the future rather than jeter. most teams see it that way, and do so. you must be living in the past when jeter's arm was stronger than it is, and he actually had a future. as it stands, his years are limited, thus making his trading value close to nil. next time you make a statement, get your facts straight first. |

You are not the superior being you fancy yourself. I do like the opportunity to remind you of that from time to time. |
