1. Peter Gammons is a tool.
2. Jason Giambi gave the Yanks props at his press conference in Oakland.
3. Chad Jennings attempts to piece together the Triple-A rotation.
4. Pete Caldera did the math and notes that as long as Andy doesn’t return, the team will be under its 2008 payroll.
5. Jon Heyman lets us know that the Yankees are, in fact, fielding offers for Nady and Swisher. To be honest, if the Yankees trade Swisher, I will personally picket Brian Cashman’s office and hold him accountable. That guy will hit 30+ homers for another team, if traded.
Couldn’t agree more on Swish. Letting him go would be a huge mistake.
Definitely YC. Thanks for stopping by lately, too!
