Suuposedly, Yuliesky Gourriel defected and is in Columbia right now. And, again supposedly, he's already signed a contract with the Yankees. I find the second part extremely hard to believe. If he really defected, there will be a lot more hoopla and contracts flying from the Mets, Yanks, Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals, Red Sox... etc. Doubt he'd sign with the Yanks before hearing other offers.

Wang looked great last night, with adaquate bullpen and 3 all-stars returing by september I think the Yanks can make playoffs and win one round with the team they have right now. They have 3 solid starters(better then most). 5th starter will be skipped again next week, well maybe a good 4 wound'nt hurt. This Yankee team seems quite resilant except E-rod.

pending Abreu if he waives his no trade clause

Considering Abreu keeps an apartment in NY and already said that he would like to play for the Yankees, it's a done deal. Also, include Cory Lidle in the deal for the Yanks first round bust pick last year and 2 other mediocre minor leaguers. It's strictly a money dump by Philly.

Lidle over the last month is 4-1, 3.74 ERA, 1.16 whip, 33.2 innings and 25 K's. That's good but he's known to be streaky and I think is on one right now. Still...can't be worse than Sidney Fatson or Shawn Suckon!!

I'm not a big Abreu fan as I've mentioned here already. Little power anymore, pretty bad defense, and not considered the greatest clubhouse guy. Obviously he's a great OB % guy and can drive in runs, get steals. It's just 16 million is a bit flattering for his results.

Is it safe to assume with this pickup that Sheffield wont be making a comeback in the outfield the rest of the season? Looks like he might be DHing when he gets back.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”

David Bohm in “Art, Dialogue and the Implicate Order”, published in On Creativity RC (Routledge Classics)

Liddle is definately an upgrade from Fatson. To me the yanks are the second best team now, if the Twins get soriano id be scared of them. Tigers are playing great kudos to leyland
