Utleys:

What is wrong with you?

Agreed, Metrosouth. If Livesey can score us even one more guy like Jeter, he's worth every penny he's paid and a fat bag of horseflies.

The retooling has begun ...Go Pinstripes

"Yankees were sitting with the sixth pick. They never thought Jeter would be there"

So how exactly is this great scouting????
it's like danny ferry picking Lebron James #1......

gimmie someone who can pick up key components in the LATER rounds, when good scouts truly earn their wings

The only thing standing in the way of Yankee success is meathead manager Joe Girardi and GM Brian Assman. How's the Kei Igawa deal working for you, Assman? It's time to hire Mattingly as the manager and Gillick as the GM.

Good, but surrounded by a GREAT cast. I'm entitled to my opinion. I will say this his "Derek Jeter's Taco Hole" skit on SNL had me rolling on the ground convulsing from the extreme laughter I spewed. (Sung to the tune "Cocomo")

"Good" enough to be a first ballot hall of famer, that's for sure...Likely 3,000+ hits, 250+ HRs, 2,000+ runs, 1,300+ RBIs, already 4 W.S. rings, 3 Gold Gloves, 9x All-Star, ROY, W.S. MVP, and 2 Silver Sluggers. Thank God for that "GREAT" cast surrounding him...

Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams say "you're welcome".

ok you are clearly a hater at this point.... b/c anyone that puts up these kind of numbers is a great player and def. a hall of famer 1st ballot and he has always been clutch in the reg. season and the playoffs unlike mr strikeout on your team

Hate to say this Chase but few, very few, players, without some type of supporting cast are going to post up HOF numbers. I mean Mickey had his suporting cast, WIllie had his, even Michael Jack Schmidt had his supporting cast and without some damn good every day gamers in back of these players they just might have fallen a tad short of being in the Hall when all was said and done.

You know, even a dog's rear end sees the sunshine every so often. Whoop-tee-fricking-doo! The guy signed Jeter... I'd like to know the next three choices he had on his draftboard if the Reds had picked Jeter.

Dude, if another scout had seen what Livesey saw, Jeter would have gone earlier. Livesey was the only one among those scouts for teams with the first six picks to salivate over this kid.

You are flirting dangerously close with losing your avatar and moniker priviledges. Keep it sharp or I will get you so high, when you wake up your name will be "Kajagoogoo" and your avatar will be some dude with flockaseagull hair.
