I don't really know how they feel about BG. They did give him the starting CF spot last year so they have some confidence and Cashmanhas been quoted as saying BG is our LFer. But listening to interviews my gut tells me the jury is still out whether he can cut it or not as a starter due to his hitting. I'm more optimistic that he can continue to develop.

When all is said and done, it's all just our opinions. Sometimes I think, Twasp, you just oblivious man. Nobody agrees with your conclusions: 1. JD is a valuable and dynamic player and worth the $. X 2. The Yankees are taking a big risk letting proven winners go. X 3. Matsui would have still been the ideal DH in 2010 X 4. Gardy can be given a long look with our offense to protect him. X 5. A dominant #2 starting pitcher would be the best investment to secure playoff success. (Halladay, Lee, Beckett) X Maybe I'm too cynical? You da man, BP.

Cashman may have offered the contract for a whole host of reasons; DH, play a little LF, come off the bench etc.. The offer was made early on before johnson signed. I say; "may have", because I don't know but, it sounds reasonable to me. Disagree Twasp…

Twasp your still my boy and the most entertaining guy on this site.

I have had disagreements with him myself (as have others), he brought up a couple of things I had not put into my evaluation of a player and after some thought...I changed my mind. Glad to have him back among us, he has a good head on his shoulders. Twasp, very good…
