Chipper in pinstripes?

Chipper would have been a nice fill in for Tex, were he interested. Lee is a very good option.

Yankee management........

Can we at least make a gentleman's agreement that we don't look at anyone over 40 and/or is retired to round out the roster?

I don't think I'm asking for too much.....

I got no problem with hiring a temp as long as the contract is not stupid. Not stupid means a couple of, to a few mil, by todays standards.
Still think MLB should have 30 day contracts similar to the NBA's 15 day contract which are renewable once before a team is forced to offer a fulltime contract for the remainder of the year if they wish to renew a third time.

Not happening.

Not at all. You are being quite reasonable.

I agree. And by the time Lee would ever be ready, Texiera would be back. Just shop talk and name dropping. Nothing more.

Cashman never thofuht ti would he even said as much. ANd ALrry said he is happily retired and enjoing his life as a bad golfer.
Jeter added that he wasn't aware that the Yankees had a golf team.

Like I said yesterday Cashman is just shaking trees to see what falls out. Lee wouldn't be a bad bench player for the right price. Chipper was never a reality in any scenario. I think he did it as a lark. To just get a reaction from peeps.

My question is why are these stupid stories being printed in the first place. Everyone knows except Cashman it would take Jones half of the season to get ready and by then his injured first base man would be back.

Lee would be a great choice, as long as you cut Hafner. He then becomes your dH for the year too. He is the only remote possibility.

But whoever they get is only needed until mid June.....so does it really matter what his age is...they aren't expecting 162 games out of whoever they sign....

He would never come back to a different team in a million years. Those fans down there mean the world to him and he;s one of the rare breed where the fans actually matter to him for their support to him over the many years. If plays for ANYONE ELSE, let alone the Yankees, even if they offer him $100 million a year, I would eat my car.

it does matter-
why sign a guy that is old and out of baseball?
why not let one of the kids play?

you think chipper will hit .333?
I'd rather have a kid come in and who knows? maybe he is actaully good and he actually could help us LONG term going forward

I get its only for a couple of months-
but I'd rather have a young kid thats hungry, rather than an old guy that we basically know what his ceiling is and is so far from that at this stage, that its an embarassment

Yeah but like you said it was during his career. Earlier in it. I'm not saying there's any shame in playing in the Bronx. I just firmly believe Chipper would never do it now. The city is in love with him and he is with them. That's all.

Juan Rivera has his first baseman's mit ready

I'm pretty sure becoming the Bret 'He that shall not be named' of the MLB is not in Chipper's retirement plans.
