Extra! Extra! Who wants some Jheri-Curlz in Flushing? [Baseball Anyone]

Pedro Martinez slated to go to the Mets. Will Flushing house the dominican daddy? Will someone take this guy to Flushing to get a haircut from the teethless asian haircutters?

And I'm not hating on you Boston Fans, but if Pedro comes to Flushing, how do you feel about Pedro making those empty promises to stay in Boston? And also isn't Manny on the arbitration block as well?

YANKEE NEWS
Who knows whats going down...
RJ in pin stripes? Delgado in pin stripes? Beltran in pin stripes?

What a line up would it be?
Jeter, A-Rod, Sheff, Matsui, Beltran, Delgado, Bernie, Posada, Womack

Rotation
RJ, Moose, Wright, Pavano, Brown?

lols talk about treating baseball players as baseball cards. Stein isn't taking a liking to falling short in the fall classic.

there ain't no baseball in there - they deliberating over umpire shoving and chair throwing! LOLS

drama kings to say the least LOLS (watches the flames rise..waits)

bad move for the mets, but think of the joy pedro's mascot/buddy will bring to shea...

Pedro will eventually turn into the closer for the Mets. He can barely pitch six innings anymore.

Hmmm... haven't heard that theory before. Tough to pay $13,000,000 a year for a closer. Yet, the Mets had to make a splash somewhere I guess. For those 6 innings though (except against the Yanks) he's awfully tough still.

As a Yankee fan though, it's quite good news. Subtract from Boston and not sign with the Yankees. Two pluses.

As long as Boston doesn't get Tim Hudson or somebody like that I'm happy overall because I see Boston's starting pitching getting older.

Extra! Extra! Now midgets invading Flushing too!

An inside story: from Mango trees to NYC

Honestly, give it up to the Mets for doing it again. It's honestly going to be another Mo Vaughn contract. Everyone and their grandmother knows Pedro's labrum is severly torn, that's why he rejected an MRI as part of his physical for the Mets. If the Mets want to give him 4 years, go nuts. This gives the redsox a lot of money to re-sign Tek and looks like we're going to get Renteria also.

Theo is a genious, it's way too early to worry about our starting rotation. We're in the hunt for Clement now and there's still a lot of trade talks out there, it'll be interesting to see how this all ends up in the next few months

The Yankees arent gonna go for RJ, they dont have anything to offer Arizona.

The yankees have backed off a bit, I don't know whether trade talks are entirely off but the diamondbacks are asking for way too much. I remember something in the terms of RJ for Gordon, Vasquez, Hasley, other prospects and $$ to eat up Vasquez's contract...that's just ridiculous.

Honestly, I don't think Varitek is worth the amount he is demanding. For someone in a contract year, he numbers were a lil disappointing. Theo can get better value for his money by looking elseware. The only way he'll keep Varitek is to overpay for him, and Theo ain't going to do that

Are you kidding? Tek's a career .271 hitter. He hit .296, 18 hrs and 73 RBIs last year and was over .300 for a good part of the season. There's NO other catcher out there right now on the market who can hit and not to mention what he brings to both the clubhouse and his pitchers...he's irreplacable in terms of setting up a game plan w/ his pitchers and knowledge of the game. Go figure he's asking for a lot of money, Boras is his agent but he was the nucleus of that 2004 team. He will re-sign w/ the Redsox, they're getting closer and closer.

It sounds like postering to me. Arizona called the Yanks yesterday but they still we're asking for the moon and a young Catherine Zeta-Jones, which yes the Yanks don't have. But RJ is demanding to be traded and only to the Yankees. I lived in Seattle when RJ demanded to be traded from the Mariners and he got quite nasty when he didn't get his wish. Hard to see Arizona letting that play out. The Yanks best bet is to get a third team involved to make the deal once Arizona lessens their demands. We'll see.

I love Randy Johnson so I'm hoping but not holding my breath.

Carlos Delgado? No thanks! I hate that guy. He pouts too much. I'd rather have Tino. Then, make the best effort for Beltran.

Matt Clement is a head case. 10 million dollar arm and 2 cent head. Boston can have him.

I only worry about Hudson, Zito, or someone along those lines for Boston. Dave Wells is good and all but I don't forget his back breaking down in game 5 of the world series. He's still a fat tub. 10 million dollar arm and 2 cent body.

Here's to Edgar Renteria not signing with Boston. He is good.

older CZJ is still hotter than... almost everyone out there

It'd be nice to have Tino back but remember he's age is pretty up there and we all know he is a pretty bonafied and established hitter.

And I do agree bout Az wanting the moon and the olsen twins on coke
the only thing i think delgado has going for him is his youth (in all aspects) even though Tino is old he has the experience..

The thing is that he's 32. It's a given hiss performance as a catcher and a hitter will decline within the next two-three years. Is it really worth throwing around that much money? (5 years $55 million AND a No-Trade clause?) In my opinion, no.

Can't disagree with that, still the hottest for me! But her in "Entrapment" was to me....the pinnicle.

Theo doesn't give no-trade clauses to anyone period.

Good point w/ Tek's age though, he is getting there by we all know by now, Tek's no ordinary catcher

we need a TA trip to a ballpark this coming season...anyone up for it?

how's he unordinary? he had a good contract year. granted, i liked that he gave a-rod a facewash. but take that bosox cock out of your hand , he's just a mediocre catcher with intangibles that had a career year. btw, i hate the yankees

sorry kid, I got "the club" lock grip on it...diehard.

Mediocre? I think not, he's a solid all-around catcher. There's only a handful of catchers in the league that can hit not to mention the other "intangibles" you speak of.

kid huh? hmm, not quite.

.271 isn't exactly mindblowing hitting for catchers. the only catchers that i consider hitters are (of recent times)

i-rod
piazza of the late 90s
the kid from cleveland last year.

1 year does not a career make. please, intangibles do not make up for talent. even with intangibles, he's not a solid all-around catcher. he's not there for his hitting, that's for sure. it's how he works with the pitchers and his clubhouse presence. his hitting was gravy last year, but don't count on it all the time.

kid from cleveland - victor martinez

don't forget johnny estrada from the braves
