To the rest of the baseball world yes it did make an impact but i think the greatest impact to the yankees wasn't losing soriano but losing Nelson. I still am and always will be a fan of Jeff Nelson now that's the perfect setup man for Mo.

Agreed... Strawberry and Gooden. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

Well... Gordon did a pretty good job last year, man.

But look... if the Sox had gotten Rodriguez, they had a trade in place to send Nomar to the White Sox for Magglio Ordonez as well. Which means there would've been no trade for Cabrera, Mientkiewicz, and Dave Roberts mid-season. The non-trde of Rodriguez to the Sox is probably what won them a championship.

I'm not taking anything away from Alex Rodriguez here... I think he's the best player in baseball.

I still think nelson is the shit especially with Mo behind him - what the hell does he have to worry about?

I don't know really. I've always thought about it. Is Manny a Red Sock? No... he's a person. And a member of the Red Sox. So I've always just said "He's a Red Sox." Heh...

I don't know. Haha... it's weird. I only do it with the Red Sox and White Sox. Mike Lowell is a Marlin. Derek Jeter is a Yankee. Mike Piazza is a Met. J.D. Drew is a Dodger. But Frank Thomas is a White Sox.

With 3 more plate appearance, Juiceambi will qualify and lead the American League in On Base %.
