Hi Steve I enjoyed your segment. your opinion on NJ is right on..what in the world would make anyone think this guy would not be hurt this year. i said he would miss at least 50 games this year..boy was i off.yankees need the DH spot for arod posada and jeter going forward.I hope they don’t make the same mistake next year and look for a full time DH.. for my money montero should be the guy along with the others mentioned..posada with be on the DL half the year next year if he is the full time guy.. one point i didn’t agree with was damon, i thought he was done.. and feel he needed to play at the stadium to have a good year.. even then he would not have put up power #s as last year.losing coke hurt..granderson has been a hugh drag on the offense..lets see how he does for the remainder of the year and play offs..that would cure the first three quarters of this year.. let us know when you are on again..good luck with your pet..
Thanks, but that was Frank Russo on NJ. I was on first and discussed Jeter, Wood, and other stuff. Frank writes over at NYBD if you want to check out his work.
Hi Steve.. I tuned in around ten after nine. nice show. what is your position on the full time guy at DH next year.
Given the age on this team, I’m all for a rotating DH. Alex and Derek can get 1 day a week and Jorge can get 2-3. Fill in the rest with a match up guy like Thames.
If that happens, then they’ll need back up IFers that are more competent with the bat than Pena. If Nunez can hit better, then he can do it. If not, they’ll have to go out and get someone to play that role.
Like many things, the future of the DH spot depends on Jesus Montero’s ability to stay behind the plate. If he can, that lets he and Jorge split the C/DH starts, and that’s something I can get behind.
Agree on Pena, which is why I was all for bringing Jerry Hairston back last year. Someone who can give you a decent bat while play anywhere defensively. If Alex’s power outage this year is related to his hip, then keeping him off his feet will be key to getting production out of him.
But I disagree about Montero. Him and Posada as a catching platoon means you have two bad defensive catchers. That’s a recipe for disaster with AJ (and your other hard throwers) and is something other teams will exploit. I don’t love Cervelli’s bat, but people pay way too much attention to the #8/#9 hitter.
