I've come to wonder, since my tergiversation concerning Rauuul, whether his signing was actually an incredibly gifted finesse behind the screen of the other signings and trades -"You want to spend WHAT on an old broken-down DH?". But with the number of dirt-dogs the org had drafted and were almost ready, why not have the old dirt-dog around to show the little dirt-dogs how to dig. And given the apparent questions on Montero's work habits, why not bring in the toughest, hardest working ex-Yankee to try to continuously convince the rook that not all Yankees do it A-Rod's way. If the org's culture on the position-player side is 13+ Rauuuls with differing position skills, but a common attitude, then I think I'm going to enjoy the rest of the year, regardless of how the record turns out (but I think it's going to get substantially better). But this building group of dogs looks like its going to have its day pretty soon. And guys like Bay and Morse have apparently completely bought in.
What did Buhner say when they were like 10 games back in '95, but were finally starting to gel -- "To (heck) with the wild card, let's take the division!" -- Who plays Jay in the remake? - I'd guess Franklin or Zunino.
