Joe Torre?s been taking plenty of heat for his tell all ?The Yankee Years?, and his role in other books, for that matter, but one of the things that came out of his inevitable media slobbing to tout the tome was a rather noble gesture, and one that, to the best of our knowledge, hasn?t [...]

Now This Gives New Meaning To The Term "A-Fraud"
The other day I criticized SI for posting fluff on their website about Derek Jeter and, by extension, Alex Rodriguez. Well, no more criticizing, at least for the time being.

Freddy Garcia?
Apparently, the Yanks and Mets are the two remaining teams competing for Freddy Garcia. Ken Rosenthal says its been narrowed down to the two New York teams. I think this would be exactly the type of move Cashman should be making right now. He`s a low risk, solid reward guy that could give the ...
