Cliff Lee absolutely owned that lineup last night. Complete domination. I am so impressed by his composure over the course of this season and into his first postseason. Let's go Pedro in game 2!

I was going to put one a
after my post. But I then thought I better not because it might be the name. My third guess was Elston .

I was going to guess Babe, but I didn't want to piss you off.
![]() Will be interesting to see what they do with their OF free agents this year. They have a nice prospect coming up soon in Austin Jackson and I can't imagine them holding onto both Matsui and Damon. Is Swisher signed long term? Also, very curious to see what they do with Hughes and Joba. I think Joba is better served in the pen and I think Hughes has always been overrated as a prospect so he might never quite develop into the starter they had hoped. So it'll be interesting to see what they do with their rotation after CC, AJ, and Pettite. |

I'm not sure stats show Hughes anymore overrated than Joba was as a projected 3rd year starter... so I'm guessing they keep them both and hope for the growth from both! I'm not sure how many add'l years are on Swisher, but he ain't goin' nowhere! When his contract is coming up, I expect he will be "overpaid" to keep him there. Just to add to the payroll and pi$$0ff the Yankee Haters! ![]() Harold F.

Remember both Hughes and Joba are young and inexperienced. Joba had very little time in the minors and they have really screwed with him while on the majot league roster. Hughes also went through the minors quickly and he missed most of last year due to injury so he doesn't have a lot of major league time. I remember Catfish Hunter getting his brains beat out and he is in the Hall of Fame. Another example is Zach Greinke. I would always tell people I wish the Yanks would get him and they would laugh because he was losing big time. Well he's figured it out now. Takes time sometimes.
If Damon goes for a short contract, 1 or 2 years, the Yanks will keep him. I think the same with Matsui. Nady should be back next year too. At least I don't think he is a free agent. |

I think that Joba should stay in the pen. Groom him to take over for Mo when he retires. Just like they did with Mo and Wettland. I think Hughes has the stuff be a good starter. That is if he quits throwing 4 seam fastballs down the middle of the plate.
As far ad Damon and Matsui go on a personal level I hope they show Johnny"I throw like a girl" Damon the door. I have always liked Matsui. Plus if they sign him they get alot of $$$$ from Japanese sponsars and merchandise sales in Japan. Swisher had a terrible post season but a very solid regular season. They have him locked up through 2010 with an option for 2011.

They both have excellent stuff. Mid 90's fastballs. Hughes has a Bert Blylevin curve ball and above average change up. Chamberlain has one of the best sliders in the game and an above average change up and curve ball. Their problem is they don't know how to control their stuff. Chamberlain shakes off Posada too much. Neither has a great deal of experience. Neither knows how to pitch, they just throw. I don't think either one of them has a great deal of confidence in themselves and their stuff although Hughes seemed to improve in that catagory. All that being said if they don't learn how to pitch they can have the greatest stuff in the world and not be successful. Maddox didn't have the best stuff but he will be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
